Please note that where Cambridge has reviewed a series of books or resources that contain a very large number of items published within a single scheme, teachers should use their own judgement to evaluate the cultural sensitivity of the material according to their own particular requirements.

Endorsed by Cambridge. These are resources that have been written to be closely aligned to the syllabus they support and that have been through a detailed quality assurance process.

Recommended by Cambridge. These are resources that have been through a short quality assurance process in which their content has been reviewed against the part or parts of the syllabus they support and have been found to offer good quality material suitable for use with the Cambridge programme. This means that they form a useful source but cannot be used to deliver the programme on their own.

Suggested by teachers. These are resources that have not been through the Cambridge quality assurance process but have been found suitable for use with various parts of the syllabus by teachers.

Cambridge Secondary 1 teacher support website

A suite of support materials are available on the Cambridge Secondary 1 website to help teachers plan and deliver the course. These include curriculum frameworks, schemes of work, recommended published resources and administration information.

Cambridge teacher training

Cambridge teacher training events include a range of face-to-face and online subject-specific training courses. Cambridge offers a range of training courses enabling teachers to select courses which best suit their own learning level and school timetable.

In addition, Cambridge offers Professional Development Qualifications for Cambridge teachers, enabling teaching professionals to develop their skills even further by improving the quality of their teaching and learning.

Cambridge Secondary 1 English as a Second Language curriculum
For those teachers using the Cambridge Secondary 1 English as a Second Language curriculum framework, externally certificated assessments can be provided by our sister organisation Cambridge ESOL. Cambridge ESOL also offers a Teaching Knowledge Test (TKT). It aims to increase teachers' confidence and enhance job prospects by focusing on the core teaching knowledge needed by teachers of primary or secondary learners.
