IGCSE & GCSE Fieldtrips

| Homemadeeducation

Field-trips at any age, for any subject, are an ideal way to solidify ideas, concepts and apply information in a real world context.

I recently arranged a field-trip to Blenheim Palace to see their winter ‘offering’ from an IGCSE  Travel&Tourism and IGCSE Business perspective.  It was an engaging and informative opportunity for students and would have also equally suited History, English, Design and Technology!

IGCSE Business Case Studies are Everywhere

| Homemadeeducation

Lots of Business Studies learnings on offer today at the Oracle in Reading! … 1) organic growth and location … Chick-Fil-A comes to Reading (let’s hope one of America’s favourite brands can survive this dismal location in the Oracle where many others have slowly died a death!) 2) Business failure and ecommerce/location … Paperchase is closing down (another high street brand suffering immensely) 3) employee motivation and customer service (our server/cashier at FiveGuys was having a fantastic time singing, dancing and laughing behind the cash register)

I love teaching IGCSE Business Studies with HomeMadeEducation, there are case studies everywhere!
