For teachers
Teaching A Level Economics
Everything on the student site, organised for the classroom: a scheme of work across the four themes, lesson sequences that build the diagram, chain and evaluation habits, and assessment guidance aligned to the Edexcel Economics A objectives.
Scheme of work
A two-year route through the four themes, mapped to the student site’s topic pages and the three papers.
TeachLessons
Lesson sequences by topic: key question, the diagram to build, worked examples, and the written outcome.
AssessAssessment
The four objectives in practical terms, the levels paraphrased for planning, and comment-only marking with the desk.
How the two sites fit together
The student site is built around the way economics is examined: each topic guide moves from definition to diagram to chain to evaluation, and the Skills page carries the paragraph and essay method. Set the topic guides as pre-reading or catch-up, and use the lesson sequences here for classroom teaching. Every written outcome can be routed through the marking desk.
Using the marking desk with a class
The desk gives annotations, never marks, deliberately. Comment-only marking keeps students reading the comments, and keeps you the sole source of grades. Suggested routine: students draft, submit to the desk, redraft in a different colour, and bring both versions to you. You mark the redraft against the current grid; the tool has already done the first-pass reading. It declines off-task use and will not write answers for students.
A note on copyright and accuracy
All summaries, worked examples and commentary on this site are original. Nothing from the Edexcel specification, sample assessment materials or published study guides is reproduced; level descriptors are paraphrased for planning only. Exam facts (marks, timings, weightings) should always be checked against the current specification, and real-world figures against dated public sources.
