From September 2008, Edexcel will offer one GCE specification in Biology, developed from the best of the current Edexcel and Salters Nuffield Advanced Biology (SNAB) specifications. It has been designed to engage and inspire students by showing how an understanding of many contemporary issues requires a grasp of fundamental biological ideas and offers a choice of proven teaching and learning styles leading to one common assessment structure.
Getting to grips with the changes to the specification is essential for all teachers, especially those new to teaching AS level or new to the Edexcel specification.

This course will explore innovative ways of engaging your students, making full use of "How Science Works" to extend both their knowledge and understanding as well as the skills necessary for studying Biology successfully beyond AS. Teachers will return to their schools with proven teaching & learning strategies designed to increase their confidence in their ability to deliver interesting and inspiring lessons on the new subject material and fully understand the changes to the internal assessment. This will enable them to pass this knowledge on to their colleagues and get the very best from their students in the AS examinations and coursework.
