About this course
It covers the essentials that you need to know before teaching Labour Markets including: key topics, building up diagrams, common errors and tips for helping students to avoid them, using data to support effective teaching and learning, and lots of application. There are also several bonus videos that cover "the next steps" if you are interested in looking at slightly more demanding theory.
Who it's for
It's perfect for brand-new economics teachers, or those returning to the economics classroom, or teachers wanting to approach their teaching in a different way. The course is suitable for teachers of Edexcel A Level Economics (A).
