Business Studies Educators (16 - 19) - A2

This section is designed as a resource for teachers and lecturers in Business Studies at A2 level. The resources include lesson plan/s, presentations to introduce a topic area on PowerPoint and as a mind map and activities designed to support the lesson and stimulate student learning. The mind maps give the big picture and are available as a graphic or as text. Each resource can be used together or as a stand alone - for example, the activities can be used for homework.

The resources are grouped below under six topics. They will be refreshed during the year to make them as topical as possible. To view lesson plans, presentations and activities for these topics for other qualifications, go to the Business Studies Educators home page.
