Teachers' guide to coursework

Sue Kirkham recently chaired the QCA Coursework Taskforce. The establishment of a taskforce was one of the core recommendations in the QCA report A Review of GCE and GCSE Coursework Arrangements published last November. The main aim of the taskforce was to provide teachers with further guidance and advice on authenticating coursework. The taskforce has produced a leaflet Authenticating Coursework: A teacher's guide. It is an excellent resource for teachers and it is hoped that teachers will refer to the leaflet when marking their coursework this year. The leaflet can be ordered free of charge by calling the QCA on 08700 60 6015 or emailing orderline@qca.org.uk
