Wow! Economics is back for the 2014-2015 academic year with 40 brand new resources. If you've not been to a previous version of this Economics Teacher CPD event then come along and enjoy a fantastic day of engaging resources aimed at inspiring students and improving their potential grades. If you've been before then don't miss out on a whole new set of activities to add to your catalogue. We guarantee that you'll have colleagues looking over at your desk and wondering where they can get something similar to spice up their teaching.For dates and venues click here.To find out about what we've got in store, read on....
This year we have 40 new resources provided by 10 members of our Economic Teacher Community. The table below lists some of the topics covered by the resources - all have been professionally graphically re-designed and come in a folder to take away and use back in the class room.
Along with the topics covered below we have additional resources aimed at enhancing skills in examinations, engaging starters and plenaries to get a buzz in your classroom and our usual liberal helping of editable Powerpoint Games to test knowledge and understanding.
And, of course, you get one of those rare opportunities to meet and work with other teachers of Economics.
All topics have been examined to ensure that they are remaining in the new specification version of A level Economics (all boards) arriving in September 2015.
