Supporting EPQ

[Elizabeth Hutchinson Participant]

I am delighted to share that Blanchelande College are working with me to use FOSIL within their introduction of the EPQ. I have given them the workbook shared on this site and they have made links with our local public library to boost their access to online resources. I plan to support and teach the skills that they are currently in need of but it will be baby steps for now. If there is anyone who is currently at the start of this journey too it would be good to hear from you.

I will give further updates as we go along but this is the first of a great journey for us and I look forward to sharing it with you all.

That is excellent news, Elizabeth.

It would be helpful to know which specification they are doing.

For reference and convenience, I include the link to the Forum Topic FOSIL and the Extended Project Qualification (EPQ).

Chris and Jenny met recently to discuss developing support for the EPQ at Oakham School, specifically through a LibGuide. Although this will be focussed on the EPQ, it will, obviously, draw on much that is already in the Extended Essay LibGuide, both structure and content. You and your colleagues at Blanchelande College may find this useful as a place to start, if you have not already done so, because it makes both the process (tabs across the top) and the support for the process (content in each tab) explicit.

While LibGuides is ideally suited to something like this, it is not the only way to do so.

Chris and/ or Jenny will be updating on recent EPQ-related developments to the Forum in due course.
