Text books!

[Lizzy Boston]

Hello...new to all this! So not even sure if this will work but does anyone know if Edexcel have published their textbook yet?

[Alan Parkinson]

Hi. It worked perfectly.
Simon would perhaps be the person to ask for this as one of the authors. I presume it's out this month ?

[Simon O]

I have contributed to the Philip Allan text, Alan - which is out later this month / start of June I think. Lizzy seems to be asking about Edexcel's own book (through Pearson) which I have no idea about!

Note to self: read posts properly before replying to them... ;)

I spoke to Pearson's yesterday and its not going to be ready until June!!!

I am getting a little worried about the publishing dates for textbooks. How can we create completed schemes of work for the topics available if we don't know the example case studies and questions in the main texts. I have looked at the Digby's version (Oxford University Press) and this seems a little light on content. That said, it is the only one available for orders!

Edexcel's book now available mid to late June

Philip Allan textbook now 27th June! ... and this is the one we really want to use....

Do we wait for the textbooks which might lead to some very late planning in the year or do you get on and plan the course - reducing the need for a textbook anyway? I would be interested to know what other schools are looking to do.

May be we should focus on the new KS3 stuff whilst waiting for core textbooks...

[Alan Parkinson]

Agree that this is rather late for planning within term time (although we all know that teachers will give up some of their summer - which is why the Ning might help us all save some time)
Agree that KS3 is something to focus on in the meantime..
