As both an awarding body and a publisher, we’ll outline how the course is designed to engage your students, as well as the unparalleled support and resources we provide for all aspects of planning, delivery and assessment of the qualification.  \nOur qualification has:  \na flexible specification with topics that teachers  \nwant to teach and students want to study Page 4  \n a manageable approach to the new Historic  \nEnvironment requirement Pages 6–7  \n clear and consistent exam papers and  \nmark schemes Pages 8–11  \n unbeatable and expert support  \nevery step of the way Pages 12–19.  \nLook out for Pearson’s published resources on pages 13, 15, 16 and 19!  \n2  \nSupporting great history teaching  \nHistory matters. That’s why our GCSE (9–1) history qualification encompasses a wide range of themes, historical events and eras, so students can understand the past and its impact on the world around us.  \nThere’s no particular way to teach history. With our specification, there’s choice and flexibility across options that means you can teach the topics that work best for you and your students. And when it comes to our assessments, they’re built to encourage every student to best show what they know and can do.  \nIt’s shaped by you, for your students. We’ve worked with hundreds of practising teachers and the history education community to create a qualification that’ll help students become confident and successful historians. What’s more, we’ll support you every step of the way with tools and published resources to help you plan, teach, track and assess our course with confidence.  \n“Most of us spend too much time on the last 24 hours and too little on the last 6,000 years.”  \nWill Durant  \n3  \n4  \nA flexible specification with topics that teachers want to teach and students want to study  \nOur new Pearson Edexcel GCSE (9–1) specification brings together elements of the former Modern World and Schools History Project courses so GCSE students can explore a broader range of history than ever before.  \n There’s more to choose from. Our specification covers more than a thousand years of history, from medieval England and the American West to Mao’s China.  \n The choice is yours. There are no prohibited topic combinations, meaning you have the freedom to choose themes and eras that will work for you and your students.  \n There’s tailored support. Our specification is supported by an unbeatable range of free tools and resources that help you plan, teach, track and assess every element of our course with confidence.  \n There’s consistency between our Edexcel GCSE, AS and A level qualifications. Our GCSE specification was shaped alongside our new AS and A level courses so students can continue to succeed in history by building on what they’ve learned, rather than repeating it in further study.  \n Popular topics were retained. We kept the specification topics you told us you wanted to continue teaching. Date ranges from these topics have also stayed the same, enabling you to use existing materials.  \n New topics were introduced to engage you and your students. We chose to update and create new topics based on what you said you want to start teaching and on what you said you liked in the former controlled assessment units.  \n Some topics run up to the present day , so students can link events of the past to what’s happening around them today.  \n You construct the course that works for your students. Topics throughout the course can be combined thematically to create a coherent teaching and learning pathway.  \n Designed with progression in mind. Our course builds on Key Stage 3 topics to help students confidently develop","cbCaiuWheXb6Tyoi","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiuWheXb6Tyoi","pdf",8810018,11,"English","# Overview of Pearson Edexcel GCSE (9–1) History Support\n## Flexible specification and topic choice\n## Manageable approach to the Historic Environment requirement\n## Qualification at a glance and paper structure","[{\"question\":\"What does the brochure say about the purpose of the Pearson Edexcel GCSE (9–1) History qualification?\",\"answer\":\"It explains that the qualification covers a wide range of themes, historical events, and eras so students can understand the past and its impact.
