About the course
This course explores the structure of the AQA GCSE specification, teaching tricky topics, mastering the high-tariff questions, planning and delivering fieldwork, embedding geographical skills, and much more.
The course is designed to build your confidence and knowledge, and support your delivery and assessment of AQA GCSE Geography.
What we'll cover
- In this introduction, we will explore the different assessment objectives, their command words, and how these are spread across the three papers.
- In this session, we explore exam style questions and responses and practice applying mark scheme to help you help your students master the high-tariff questions. This will improve your confidence in marking to criteria and will demonstrate what 'effective' and 'good' answers look like.
- In this session, we explore topic areas and concepts that students often find difficult, with ideas of how to deliver these topics, as well as resources to help you feel more confident with the content.
- In this session, we explore how to plan fieldwork, how to deliver it out in the field, and how to consolidate it once back in the classroom, so your students feel confident going into the Paper 3 exam.
- In this session, we explore the essential geographical skills that students need to master as part of the GCSE course, and how you can embed them throughout to ensure maximum confidence going into the final exams.
