Customer Reviews

Ideal for inexperienced and experienced A Level teachers
As an experienced KS3 and 4 teacher, I was looking for a text which would offer practical guidance to my first year of A level teaching.

I found this book simply ideal. It has provided a a rich source of guidance generally, but particularly relating to suitable practical work (including equipment lists and risk assessments, advice on time scales, and detailed clear diagrams.)

The book includes suggestions for extension work throughout, and lists of references for further reading, together with tests on each section covered.

I found this an irreplaceable resource on which I relied on heavily to get me through that difficult first year of A Level teaching and would not hesitate to recommend it.
