Keeping up to date

The following resources allow you access to support in the form of case studies and up-to-date news stories:
  • FT for Schools
    The FT's free online subscriptions to students aged 16-19, their teachers, and schools around the world, is a very valuable resource for all Economics teachers.
  • Using Twitter as a resource bank
    If you are looking for resources that might be appropriate for a particular topic and are looking for an up-to-date story that has been in the news, it is possible that another teacher had an interesting idea and tweeted it. Use #econ1, #econ2, #econ3 and #econ4 to search for relevant stories. You can also contribute by sharing interesting stories using the same hashtags.
  • Free topical case studies every month
    Ian Marcousé's Topical Economics case studies are emailed to subscribers every month and are now free to subscribers. These include exam-style case studies with answers as well as revision tests. The stories used are all very current (topical) and, as they are sent in Word, can be easily adapted as you wish.
  • GCE Economics A dropbox folder
    There are resources you might be able to use and/or adapt in the GCE Economics A dropbox folder.

100 worksheets organised alphabetically – easy to use and each with the answers on the back. Incredibly useful for:

• Starters

• Speedy revision – perhaps to break up a double period

• Revision – the pack comes on disk as well as on paper, so you can put 100 worksheets up in front of students prior to the A Level exams – it’s a pretty infinite resource
