Dealing with Offending Behaviour 2 – Restorative Justice and Anger Management Review "This series of books offers invaluable help to all students studying AQA A level Psychology, but is especially beneficial to those aiming for higher grades. The assessment objectives are clearly identified thus allowing students to fully appreciate how to answer questions in a way that maximises their marks.The questions that are posed throughout the book ensure that the students are engaged with the material and make the task of answering them interesting as well as informative. Students will enjoy these books and there can be no greater recommendation than that!"- Diana Jackson-Dwyer taught in Further Education for 20 years. She is also an experienced examiner at GCSE and A-level, and has written psychology books and revision guides for a wide range of courses."The Extending Knowledge and Skills series of textbooks is a great additional resource for teachers and students aiming for A*-B. The books contain lots of activities to engage students and ensure they really understand and can apply and evaluate the material they are learning. The introduction of some contemporary research is also a welcome addition. I particularly liked the focus on the assessment objective of AO1, AO2 and AO3, too often students focus all their revision on AO1 and forget to practice application and evaluation. The inclusion of examination style questions and specimen answers with commentary is very helpful to both teachers and students to enable them to understand where marks are awarded, and more importantly what is not credit worthy material.I fully recommend this series of books to you, whether for your own practice as a teacher or an extra resource for your high achieving students."Deborah Gajic (CPsychol) On behalf of The Association for the Teaching of Psychology (The ATP) "I fully recommend these as extension or super-curricular reading to A Level students. The texts provide a detailed yet concise account of key curriculum content and have a range of more up-to-date research which would really add to exam responses. Furthermore, the Interleave me now sections are engaging stimulus to deeper thinking and provide new ways of understanding classic studies such as the consideration of Milgram in the culture bias topic. Similarly the link between cannabis and psychosis is explored in the biological explanations of schizophrenia topic. The embedding of debates within topic also offers another opportunity for deeper understanding. In sum these offer a fantastic summary of key content whilst also providing opportunities to extend your understanding beyond the confines of the specification."Mrs C. E.
