What do teachers say about this resource? (4876)

Excellent resource, very comprehensive and great teaching ideas and worksheets... I liked the step-by-step progression through lessons with suggested homework... Great strategy to cover the course content.

A Withers, Head of Department & Peer Reviewer

This is a very well thought out resource which provides a very stable and structured way of approaching the course which I think is of value in itself. It is organised, fully supported and broken into clear steps. I think that this resource is very well structured and considered and a very valuable tool for teachers.

E Harvey, HoD & Peer Reviewer

A very good overview... It would enable a teacher to deliver the course in a structured manner with all the necessary administrative documents prepared in advance... I liked the particularly didactic nature of the resource... The resource is very clear on the aims and objectives for each unit. It establishes clear frameworks for each task and provides clear and concise assessment targets enabling students to see immediately the level they have obtained. This is extremely useful for the nature of the course... The resource will be invaluable to teachers who require some "live" examples of documentation in order to build upon the guidance give in the spec.

Addresses the rehearsing/performing side of things very well.
