Our resources for OCR Gateway GCSE Science have been specifi cally developed for the needs of real students and teachers. We’re creating resources that build on the features of current resources that teachers like, whilst incorporating more assessment and extra help with delivery. This course provides the simplest and clearest approach to help you implement the new specifi cations with ease.

Why choose this course?We’re confi dent this is the best course for the 2011 OCR Gateway GCSE Science specifi cations because:

• It’s the simplest and clearest approach of all resources available, containing all the support you need to teach the new specifi cations with ease and makes the transition as smooth as possible

• It provides comprehensive assessment and exam preparation to help your students understand what is expected of them and help improve their grades

• It offers differentiation support so all students can reach their true potential – and you can spend your time where it is needed

• It’s specifi cally designed to engage every student and stimulate their interest in science

Extra support for early startersWe’re providing free Early Start Packs to schools that need to start teaching the new specifi cations from September 2010. These will be available in early September as soon as the specifi cations are accredited.

The pack includes teacher materials for B1, C1 and P1, matched to the most recent version of the specifi cations, along with a single copy of the relevant student material. You will also be able to order Early Start Class Packs which will contain a class set of the student material.

All you need to do to get your hands on a free Early Start Pack is order an OCR Gateway GCSE Sciences Evaluation Pack. You will automatically receive this as well as the Evaluation Pack. Also, as the specifi cation development progresses we will continue to make information available online as early as possible to help you with your planning.
