INSET In A Box: Controlled Assessment in AQA GCSE English + CD-ROM

Summary:
INSET in a Box is a ready-to-run training course with everything you need to deliver an engaging and immediately useful training session: pre-course materials; script; all the resources; and access to post-course discussion groups for delegates and trainers.
INSET in a Box has been developed by expert tutors who practise what they teach; what they give you is practicable and sensible advice.
The pack includes: complete script, all handouts, illustrated and dynamic Powerpoint presentations, and video clips of real case studies, all powered by Dynamic Learning, so it is easy to find what you need and to add your own resources to the course.
While tutors prepare their course, they can join others in online discussion groups. And after the course, there is the opportunity for all delegates to swap advice and thoughts as they implement the training: an online place focused on your needs and interests.
Includes a free copy of Teach Yourself Presenting: your personal coach for novice or expert presenters.
