Invaluable Support for International GCSE Qualification Delivery

“As a teacher new to the Pearson Edexcel IGCSE Chemistry course, I have found that Teaching Hubs have been a valuable resource for teachers to facilitate learning activities in class that remain consistent across multiple sets of the subject in the same year group, and for students to be able to see standardisation in classroom experiences across these groups too. The International GCSE Chemistry Teaching Hub has a mixture of animations, self-directed activities, worksheets and core practical guidance that has been invaluable to teachers in our department. 

For induction of new staff, it provides an organised and self-sufficient resource that can help in planning of daily lessons. Students have shown higher levels of involvement and enthusiasm in their own efforts due to the richness and variety available. I am truly indebted to the school for having provided teachers with access to this resource."
