Miss Laura Thursby
Great resource, especially as an NQT due to teach History A-level in September. Enjoyed the dispelling myths section, which calmed my nerves about teaching A-level as well as helping to review planning. Lots of opportunities and activities to review my own planning using thoughts and the specification for my topic. Very useful advice to review past examiner notes - very insightful and beneficial to my understanding.
