OCR Schoology Group

OCR has created two Schoology groups for teachers to network, share ideas and resources for the two GCSE specifications. Schoology has the same sort of functionality as the old Ning groups that have now been shut down, but without the subscription fee which was introduced. All you have to do is sign up to Schoology (it's free ) and join the OCR group for your specification. How to join a Schoology group: 1. Select the “groups” tab at the top of the page. 2.

Shelley is still running CPD courses for teachers for the new spe
