Introduction
Background
A new structure of assessment for A Level has been introduced, for first teaching from September 2008. Some of the changes include:
The introduction of stretch and challenge (including the new A* grade at A2) – to ensure that every young person has the opportunity to reach their full potential
The reduction or removal of coursework components for many qualifications – to lessen the volume of marking for teachers
A reduction in the number of units for many qualifications – to lessen the amount of assessment for learners
Amendments to the content of specifications – to ensure that content is up-to-date and relevant.
OCR has produced an overview document, which summarises the changes to History A. This can be found at www.ocr.org.uk, along with the new specification.
In order to help you plan effectively for the implementation of the new specification we have produced this Scheme of Work and sample Lesson Plans for History A. These Support Materials are designed for guidance only and play a secondary role to the Specification.
Our Ethos
All our Support Materials were produced ‘by teachers for teachers’ in order to capture real life current teaching practices and they are based around OCR’s revised specifications. The aim is for the support materials to inspire teachers and facilitate different ideas and teaching practices.
Each Scheme of Work and set of sample Lesson Plans is provided in:
PDF format – for immediate use
Word format – so that you can use it as a foundation to build upon and amend the content to

    The most significant change brought into place by Michael Gove under the coalition government is the reformation of the GCSE grading system, replacing the current A*-G scheme with a 1-9 grading system, 9 being the highest and 1 being the lowest. The ideology behind this change is that the top grades will be reserved for the most elite students in the country allowing for the strongest candidates to be identified and the competition and determination to attain the grade 9 to grow. It is said that the current 4.5% of the country who received an A* in Maths last year, only 2.7% of them would receive a grade 9. This would allow the country to compete with other countries, such as China, Finland and South Korea who have the strongest education systems globally. The current grades have been criticised to be too umbrella like and vague. The new grading system will eliminate this worry, proving the changes to the system to be desirable. Chief executive Glenys Stacey said the reforms would “restore public confidence in GCSEs, after years of concern over numbers of A grades, dumbed down content and repeated resits”. However, it cannot be ignored that the changes cause incredible problems within schools over the teaching of the examinations in order to…

    The National Certificate of Educational Achievement - or “NCEA” – was introduced earlier this century between 2002 and 2004. Its primary objective is to offer a standard-based, as opposed to norm-based, system for assessment. In evaluating only a student’s self-knowledge and understanding, NCEA promotes mediocrity. With no comparison to more advanced students, the system provides no incentive to excel. The Cambridge International Examinations curriculum consists of an exam at the end of the year for each course. From this exam, the applicants receive their final grade for the subject. This avoids internal work, which NCEA is largely comprised of. Internal assessment often leads to inconsistent marking and unfair biased judgment of student work. The Cambridge International Examinations curriculum, in being a largely exam-based programme, prepares students for tertiary study better than NCEA. I believe the Cambridge International Examinations will provide a more advanced structure and a far superior academically challenging course that NCEA has not successfully implemented.…

It does not indicate the details of the discussions that took place at an Examiners’ meeting before marking began, which would have considered the acceptability of alternative answers. Mark schemes must be read in conjunction with the question papers and the report on the examination.…
