Hi

I am new to this forum and am looking for help! As of September we have a 6th form and I am due to teach The AQA Tsarist Russia unit and wondered if anyone had any SOW or resources they would be prepared to share with me? I have never taught A'level before although I have been teaching since 2004 and am finding this experience very daunting. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Waiting in anticipation

From September I will be teaching the Edexcel AS unit 1A - Alfred the Great and the Vikings, 793-c900.

I am struggling to find resources and books. Does anyone else teach this unit at all?

[kaye.maciver]

My school currently teaches at A Level

AS
AQA
Unit 1N Totalitarian Ideology and Practice (Focus on Russia and Germany)
Unit 2Q The Vietnam War

A2
AQA
Unit 3M The Making of Modern Britain
Unit 4X Personal Study Broad topic The Middle East Late 1800s- present day

We are desperate to network with other teachers of these units for the sharing of resources and ideas for these units.

Thanks,
Kaye

Hi everyone. I am an NQT and have just started my new job. I am teaching A-level and have been left with hardly anything by the teacher who has left. We are doing Post war Britain 1951-1994 and American civil rights 1865-1992 at A2. I have no idea about the timeframe or emphasis on certain key qs as I have not been left any kind of scheme of work. I also don't know where to find further resources apart from the text book I've got. I feel completely overwhelmed and have come home stressed and in tears after my first few days at school. The HOD teaches the other side of the A-level and had assumed I had been left it all by the teacher who has left. Also, as I have never taught A-level before I am not sure how the lessons are mean to progress. I don't know what the best way is to make them learn independently apart from note taking. I am a bit clueless so any help will be very appreciated!!

We teach AQA:
Unit 1M - USA 1890-1945
Unit 2R - A sixties social revolution
Unit 3L - From defeat to unity: Germany 1945-1991
Unit 4x - Historical Enquiry on anti-semitism and the Holocaust

I currently teach units 2 and 4 and have taught unit 1 in the past. Would be happy to share resources with other schools.

Not sure if this is the correct thread to post in but i couldn't find another...was wondering if people had a preference for a specific exam board at A-Level? I am setting up a new course for September and any advice and suggestions would be appreciated. Currently, the AQA topics look the best. Can anyone recommend them or is Edexcel preferable? Any help much appreciated!
