This covers specific 3,4 and 6 mark questions from Unit 1 June 2012 for the AQA Spec B June 2012 paper 1. The presentation helps pupils observe in bullet point form and helps them practice questions using mark scheme based answers. in many cases pupils were pleasantly surprised to see some of the responses that can help them pick up marks. This can be used over and over again to support interventions as well as lesson specific activities.

Hi all. To support the Spec B AQA Religious Studies GCSE - model answers for unit 1 Religion and citizenship, covering identity, relationships, sport and multicultural society, marked and checked by an AQA examiner. Please note you can use these for revision; live marking or sharing with less able pupils to make more progress. There are more to come. I have used the mark scheme from AQA to support these answers.

This will be the last year for this spec but it is very relevant for the new GCSE 9-1 Religious studies GCSE targeted towards Grade 1-6.

The New Grade 9-1 Framework for GCSE RS began this term. The Assessment Framework supports grade boundaries and the statement of attainment concerning each grade from 9-1.

This was mainly developed to bridge the Key Stage 3 move away from levels and make it representative of GCSE 9-1.

A Lesson on official statistics in crime to support a critical awareness of what Official statistics show. Pupils can also engage with a self report study to develop an awareness of other methodologies. It was an engaging lesson and pupils enjoyed playing a detective. They also noticed that the disadvantages and advantages were misplaced which was good as they recognised advantages and disadvantages of the survey method.

This is for colleagues teaching the AQA Spec B Religion and Life issues course. The topic is about early life and abortion.

I know many colleagues in schools are using VFG or verbal feedback given. This slide is mainly focussed on the humanities specifically on Religious Studies to support pupils acting on VFG Stamps. You can use the instructions or modify to suit your own subject needs. It has proven invaluable in developing evidence for pupils responding to feedback.

AQA SPEC A GRADE 9-1 TABLE to support pupils with a broad understanding of what grade they are. The new SPEC has yet to publish actual numbers on what the Grade 9-1 will look like in practice and we will be waiting till 2018 before knowing the boundaries. This PPT should help give an indication for teachers and staff. The grade boundaries have been developed with our Local SACRE and involve skills, knowledge and bloom commands. The removal of levels has essentially led to new levels however, these descriptors bridge with KS4 outcomes.

Developed from The American Psychological Association and a Book The Psychology of Teaching and Learning by David Didau and Nick Rose. This document summarises the principles of Psychology that can be applied to teaching, learning and assessment for pupils in the UK.

Many of these ideas may already be working but this one stop document can inform Teaching, Learning and Progress Frameworks for the whole school for the coming year. Feedback will be great.
