In each case, Model A is aimed at current Modern World centres and Model B at current SHP centres. These models are suggestions only and there are a number of valid ways of structuring courses: see ‘Approaches to ordering topics’ at the end of this document.\nThe example course planners below are based on the following principles:\nThree 12-week terms per academic year.\nTeaching and learning of the specification content over 60 teaching weeks for centres studying Key Stage 4 over two years, and a further 30 teaching weeks for centres studying Key Stage 4 over three years.\nThe summer term of the final year of study would be used for revision and final examination preparation for linear assessment and 100% final examinations.\nThe number of hours allocated to GCSE History each week will depend on the individual centre’s timetable, but here an average of 2 hours a week has been assumed as this fits with research carried out with schools and, on the basis of 60 teaching weeks in a two-year course, fits 120 guided learning hours.\nThe time allocated to each of the elements of the specification reflects the weighting of that element, as shown in the table below.\nWeighting\nAssessment objectives\nTwo-year course\nThree-year course\nThematic study\nwith\nhistoric environment\n20%\n10%\nAO1/AO2/\u000bAO3\n18 weeks (12 + 6)\n27 weeks (18 + 9)\nPeriod study\n20%\nAO1/AO2\n12 weeks\n18 weeks\nBritish depth study\n20%\nAO1/AO2\n12 weeks\n18 weeks\nModern depth study\n30%\nAO1/AO2/\u000bAO3/AO4\n18 weeks\n27 weeks\nCentres should adapt these models to work for their individual timetables. While the 12-week model offers the advantage of clearly designated terms for individual elements of the course, some centres may prefer to take advantage of the longer autumn term and start the second element of the course before Christmas, leaving more weeks towards the end of the course for final revision. Some centres teaching KS4 over three years may start with a transition module and will therefore need to adapt these models to start the GCSE content later in the academic year.\nModel A\nModel A is based on a current Modern World centre starting with the British depth study, as it links to their Key Stage 3 programme. This is followed by the Period study (Cold War) as this provides continuity with the previous specification. The Thematic study is new for Modern World centres and is taught in Year 11, followed by the Modern depth study.\nModel B\nModel A is based on a current SHP centre starting with the Thematic study as this is very similar to what would have been taught in the previous specification. This also gives students an overall chronological framework. This is followed with the British Depth Study as it links to Key Stage 3.The Period study and Non-Britis","cbCaiuPmJx2BBROP","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiuPmJx2BBROP","doc",438784,24,"English","# Introduction\n## Model A\n## Model B\n## Two-year course planner\n## Three-year course planner\n## Example outline schemes of work\n## Approaches to ordering topics\n## Chronological order\n## Assessment complexity\n## Links with KS3\n# Thematic","[{\"question\":\"What teaching structure does this GCSE History course planner assume?\",\"answer\":\"It assumes three 12-week terms per academic year, with specification teaching across 60 guided learning teaching weeks for two-year study and a further 30 weeks for three-year study.
