Attached are schemes of work (SOW) for the AQA A Level Sociology specification. These are for the following units only: Families and Households, Theory and methods, Education, Beliefs in society and, crime and deviance. These will be useful for all but particularly for non specialist teachers, NQT’s and/or teachers moving specifications. Note you can buy the SOW for each unit (£6) individually but they are cheaper as a bundle (£25). My students follow the Browne and/or Trobe textbook.

This can be adapted and I myself have adapted it. My suggested order of teaching is: 1. Introduction to sociology 2. Research methods 3. Education 4. Family 5. Crime and deviance 6. Social stratification I would teach 1 -4 in Y10 and 5 and 6 in Y11, this will leave a remaining term for revision. Please note 1 and 2 need to be taught first as all of the other units have both of these units embedded within them. If you are delivering the course over three years, you might want to teach in the following order: 1, 2 and 4 in Y9 3, 5 and 6 in Y10 Revision of all units in Y11 JULY 2019 (updated) I have finished teaching this new course having started in 2017. I have a current y10 class following this SOW and will continue to do so next year with my new cohort.
