As someone who was not particularly politically aware until her 30s, I do not want my students to be in the same position themselves. I trust the Politics Classroom as a platform because of the regular and impressive knowledge. Through the Politics Classroom, I aim to increase my subject knowledge and my confidence teaching about politics - as a bonus, I get to regularly meet and speak to like-minded professionals.
Katie, Assistant Head and Head of Politics.
The Politics Classroom has already provided me with high-quality resources and reassurance for teaching A Level Politics, as well as a place to reach out and ask questions. I know it will be my 'go to' for support and inspiration throughout the year!
