ABSTRACT
Although the balance of your teaching experience during your course is likely to be with Key Stage 3 classes, even within your course, you will almost certainly have responsibility for teaching some classes with examination groups. If your course of initial teacher education is qualifying you to teach pupils aged 11-18, this will include some teaching of GCE AS and A2 classes, as well as GCSE classes. What’s different about teaching examination classes – and what is the same?
