About the course

This course explores the structure of the AQA A-Level Psychology specification, marking to standards, content planning and interleaving, and much more.


The course is designed to build your confidence and knowledge, and support your delivery and assessment of AQA A-Level Psychology.



What we'll cover

  • Explore the specification and use exam performance data to choose optional topics. In this session, we take a look at proposed delivery schedules, interleaving opportunities, course intent and implementation. We also review common misconceptions about the course, and misconceptions students have throughout the course. Explore the tricky areas and find out what to do about them!

  • Nail the assessment criteria and how to support students in decoding exam question, writing effective responses, and improve their grade. In this session, we take a look at each exam paper and the variety of exam questions, and skills your students will need. We explore a range of teaching, learning and assessment resources and activities that will make assessment effective and have positive impact.

  • In this session, we explore exam style questions and responses and practice applying mark schemes. This will improve your confidence in marking to criteria and will demonstrate what 'effective' and 'good' answers look like.

  • We explore a variety of teaching, learning and assessment activities that you can use to build student skills, knowledge, and understanding.
