GCSE English Resits
Transform Your GCSE English Resit Outcomes
Proven classroom strategies for GCSE English resit learners that you can implement tomorrow
Creative Education has been awarded grant funding by the Department for Education to deliver a new national CPD programme for GCSE English resit teachers working in FE.
Why It Matters
Why GCSE English Resits Need a Different Approach
Train all your staff, all your parents, all year round with a massive library of courses for less than the price of a single INSET day.
Your GCSE English resit learners aren’t just repeating what didn’t work the first time. They need strategies designed specifically for the FE environment – approaches that acknowledge their previous experience and build confidence alongside competence.
Most CPD is adapted from school-based teaching. The English Resits Excellence Programme is different. It’s designed by FE practitioners, for FE practitioners, using strategies that actually work with learners who need a fresh start.
We’ve already supported over 10,000 FE English teachers with 98% satisfaction rates. Now we’re bringing this proven approach to a select group of colleges.
