Editor's comment
Cullimore, DuncanWelcome to the Autumn edition of Teaching Business and Economics. Once again I have been very well served by contributions from members, and some will be held over until the next edition because of space constraints.
A welcome to Ken Heather who is taking over as the Economics Update editor with his first paper focusing on the subject of price discrimination. The other update considers the issue of environmental accounting which is long overdue for an airing and will be welcomed by many teachers of this difficult topic. Simon Uttley and Andrew Hammond provide some imaginative ideas for teaching Economics and Business Studies in their respective articles.
David Butler has been a member of the EBEA for many years and is also a well established member of HMI. He has recently been given the Business Education brief and has written a very useful article giving the Ofsted perspective of the subject (drawing on inspection evidence).
David Needham is a well known author of Business textbooks but he is also a successful business education researcher and in his paper he reports findings of research designed to improve attainment in Business Studies. Chris Savory has produced a thought-provoking piece on teachers' reactions to Curriculum 2000.
The other items are all from well known 'regulars'. Stephen Fairbrass provides an update on Citizenship and Richard Young and Andy Beharrell do the same for ICT. A major item of news for the EBEA this autumn is that we have a new Chair. Nancy Wall was duly elected in mid September and I am sure that everyone will wish her well. Because of her elevation Nancy would like to pass on her 'reviews' role to someone else and she has written about this in a short piece overleaf.
I look forward to hearing from you with ideas for new articles or comments on the ones in this issue.
