A little about me

I teach Economics and Business from Year 9 through A Level. I like to connect an idea with the economic activity pupils can observe around them. A nearby example can make an abstract concept easier to question, provided we still examine the model rather than assume the example proves it.

My starting point is to draw the diagram before arguing a position. The model gives us a shared way to identify what is changing and which relationships matter. Pupils can then use it to explain an effect, consider a different condition and decide whether their first view still holds.

I look for resources that help pupils move between a model, a real example and a reasoned claim. A diagram should make the thinking clearer, not simply decorate an opinion. I want pupils to show how the evidence and assumptions connect, then recognise where the model simplifies a more complicated situation.
