Strategies for teaching coursework for 'A' level design

Abstract

Working with students taking Design at W level is challenging, exciting and very fulfilling. However, it is not without it's worries, notably the great responsibility it places upon one's shoulders to help students to achieve a broad, working understanding of the place of Design in society and through this usually a place on their chosen higher education course. Whilst this responsbility is no less with younger children the intellectual challenge and breadth at W level is such that many teachers worry about their ability to maximise the opportunities for the students under their care.
