Teaching Culture & Identity: Examples that work
A BSA supported event for non-specialist A-Level Sociology Teachers
7 July 2026 (16:30-17:15 BST)
Online
About the Event
This event is designed to support non-specialist (and specialist) A Level Sociology teachers in understanding some activities to develop applied understanding (AO2) for Culture and Identity. We are lucky to have representative from each exam board discussing how culture and identity is reflected on qualification and they will each bring a contemporary AO2 stimulus to prompt discussion for the teaching of culture and identity across WJEC, AQA and Cambridge OCR specifications.
Event Overview
Introductions
A brief welcome and outline of our third teacher event on AO2 examples for the culture and identity.
Main Session 1
During the session, Kim Constable (the hectic teacher) will share how to engage lower ability students of sociology with foundational concepts in culture and identity such as social identity, socialisation, popular culture, global culture, etc
Main Session 2 – Panel discussion with Exam Board Experts
Our exam board representatives take lead in our third event outlining topical AO2 examples which draw out excellent discussion points and highlighting the threads of similar concepts which come up across the three most popular exam boards in the UK for A Level Sociology.
Conclusions
Closing remarks, thanks, and a quick invitation for delegates to share feedback via a short questionnaire - positive points, areas for improvement, and suggestions for the next Teacher Event Series 2026/27.
Post-Event
We’ll share the PowerPoint slides, salient points raised from the chat feature, and any other resources our AQA, WJEC, Cambridge OCR representatives deem helpful with the teaching of realism and wider paper 3 crime. We’ll also circulate a short SurveyMonkey feedback form.
