DISCUSSING THE A-LEVEL ESA

DATE:  TUESDAY 11TH FEBRUARY 2025
TIME:  7PM – 8PM

FREE EVENT – Run through ZOOM, so please register to get the details

A great opportunity to discuss the A-Level ESA (Externally Set Assignment) with fellow teachers and how best to approach the themes. We will be using breakout rooms for each board, so that you can network and discuss ideas and best practice.

The session will be lead by Becci Upton and Rachel Addy

This free event focuses on this year’s Externally Set Assignment briefs for the A-LEVEL Fashion & Textiles courses. It is an opportunity for you to not just to learn from others, but also to contribute to a really collaborative environment, where everyone is able to take something helpful back to their respective students and schools.

We are not specialists in each of the different exam boards and we recommend that you refer to your own board’s latest official guidance for the most accurate and up-to-date information. To maximise our time together, we will be organising four breakout rooms, for AQA, Edexcel, OCR and Eduqas. You need to have your ESA briefs accessible, to have already read this and perhaps some ideas ready to contribute to the groups collective mind mapping. This is a precious time for everyone to share experiences and gather inspiration.
