A2 Schemes of Work
CCEA is pleased to announce the publication of exemplar Schemes of Work to support the teaching of the CCEA A2 Geography specification. The schemes may be downloaded from the CCEA website www.ccea.org.uk and following the links to the GCE Geography specification.
The schemes are presented in the form of templates to allow them to be adapted and amended by teachers, as appropriate. They should be used in relation to the Geography Specification and exemplar materials. It is important to note however, that there is no requirement to use these schemes of work.
The schemes of work do not replace the Geography Specification. All items included are suggestions only and are in no way prescriptive. Examination questions will only be set on the content listed in the Specification.
