Extension training

Online Extension courses are for teachers with at least one year's experience teaching the specific Cambridge syllabus. During the course teachers will be sharing their experiences of teaching the syllabus with other teachers. It will be difficult for teachers who do not have at least one year of experience teaching the specific syllabus to contribute meaningfully to discussions and successfully complete the course.

Online Extension courses are 7 weeks and focus on the following:

• Week 1: The assessment structure, examiner feedback, and identifying key themes and challenges.
• Week 2: How the mark scheme is applied, and identifying key skills required for the qualification.
• Weeks 3 and 4: Practising marking and exploring marking standardisation.
• Week 5: Teaching approaches, and creating resources and activities.
• Week 6: Improving your lesson plans.
• Week 7: Reviewing and reflecting on what you have learned, and improvements made to your lesson plan.
