In addition, each text incorporates elements of the Foundation Strand of the KS3 Strategy as a means of enhancing the teaching and study of history. Authors have ensured that meaningful progression can be achieved through clearly signposted assessment opportunities that are built into the fabric of the course and relate directly to the National Curriculum levels of attainment. Finally, each unit of the series is supported by a Teacher Resource CD-ROM, which contains guidance and support materials for teachers. This comprises a scheme of work, strategies aimed at effective differentiation and assessment, support activities that can be used by pupils of varying ability to complete enquiries and summative tasks, and self-standing homework activities.
