This was developed to go with the psychology research methods in context for new Edexcel psychology syllabus but would be suitable for AQA and OCR too. It is a mixture of presentation and exercises to re enforce learning.

Single lesson suitable for all new UK psychology specs but delivered for Edexcel

This is a single lesson designed to give an overview of the cognitive approach to psychology. It is not specific to any exam board

This presentation covers all the bases for agency theory with solid real world examples which will help students remember the key elementd

This lesson is suitable for all new specs in psychology but this was delivered as part of Edexcel psychology

This is a resource I constructed for "weaker" A level students who had difficulty with theory it applies the theory to class. I used it during an intervention session where I went through each approach and then got the students to make a revision resource for each section . It does not contain many theorist names so is more suitable for the current AS exam rather than the A level. It could be printed out and given as revision cards for students.

To accompany other two lessons and starter arguments against secularisation

This is a lesson to go with the first. it includes a student directed activity (Foxes thinking tool based) with instructions to help them get to grips with the arguments and theories.

I used to teach in a school where some very weak students ended up doing sociology. I developed this resource to explicitly teach then the differences in the answers expected at A level to achieve good marks/grades. This resource could also be used in training/mentoring teachers in the use of blooms questioning, which I found very useful. I used to write out questions and target them according to the student. This can be a useful discipline when teaching classes with widely differing abilities until you get used to them.

This is a lesson with activities to introduce qualitative methods. These is a lot of content in this so you may want to split into two. The basic content could also be adapted for psychology too. Students need to understand PERVERT for an exercise included here but it is fully explained in a slide you can use or print out as a "mat" for lessons

This is a revision/synoptic lesson which has an overview of Marxist theory plus an excercise to draw together marxism themes from the whole course

This is a discussion of positivism and how it influenced sociological research and its limitations. It is meant to support the synoptic element of the A level exam where question may ask for an evaluation of the contribution of positivist methodology to our understanding of sociology today.

These cards were designed to be printed off as a 6 x4 car, laminated and used as a prompt for pastoral staff when managing first level interventions with students who had had more than 2 detentions or been sent to isolation. The cards are a script you can use when interviewing pupils. It is based on solution focussed methods, always driving towards solving a problem and doing something different. The only thing you will have to print out multiple times is the scaling line which is there to help the pupil focus on their feelings and improvement. The cards are self explanatory.
