Higher Business Management - AOK Learning

On Monday I attended a very valuable CPD course on Higher Business Management delivered by AOK Learning and a well known figure in Business Education nationally Anne Bradley.

The course covered many aspects that are helpful to new teachers or new to Higher, plus there were great insights into some areas that even teachers who had taught the Higher over several years could take away and think about.

Everything was covered: from the actual syllabus itself and a discussion on the order of teaching the course, to preparation for NABs, creating and editing Prelims, and how to get pupils to answer the Case Study question a bit better than perhaps they do.

Oh and we spent some time on the dreaded Command Words! Dreaded because sometimes no matter how many times we highlight it to pupils, they get nervous in the exam and just write everything they know!

It was a worthwhile course and was very thorough.
