Co-creating new course specifications with school teachers

OCR is one of the UK's leading awarding bodies providing qualifications to students at school, college, in work or through part-time learning programmes.

Key audiences for OCR are the teachers delivering the subjects and the examiners who supervise and mark exam papers.

We have helped OCR with the design of new specifications for ICT and Religious Studies. These were evaluated among KS 2-4 teachers of these subjects using electronic bulletin boards. As well as report on their suitability, we made recommendations about their structure and communication.
