It will provide you with guidance on designing an exciting course at GCSE and A Level, and suggests engaging and challenging activities that will help boost students' confidence and ensure progression in both skills and understanding.
The Exam Class Toolkit also offers concrete examples of how you can make lessons memorable and relevant.
This book is for anyone who wants to make a real impact and re-invigorate exam group teaching.
