Aug 4: Give your teaching a BOOST

One of the projects I worked on last year was a major update to the online / digital support materials for those teachers teaching the OCR A and B GCSE Geography specification, and making use of the books that were published by Hodder, and co-written with Jo Coles, Jo Payne, David Rogers and Simon Ross. They are now available in an updated 2nd edition.

For this project, called BOOST, I worked with my colleague Claire Kyndt, and we split the work between us as there was quite a lot of it. Claire had previously contributed towards the Cambridge University Press textbook I worked on for AQA 'A' level - having assembled a rather fine team of authors for that project.

The materials have just gone live, and you can get a trial period to assess them and take a look for yourself.

They are a combination of updated materials from the previous digital platforms, along with a whole range of new materials and support to go alongside the textbooks. They form part of a whole suite of support materials.

Resources for OCR A: 26 presentations, 56 worksheets, 6 extension worksheets, 12 knowledge tests, 7 exam-style questions and answers and 6 bonus case studies

Resources for OCR B: 38 presentations, 74 worksheets, an extension worksheet for each chapter, 14 knowledge tests, 10 exam-style questions and answers and 10 bonus case studies
