We are keen to hear from those of you who may be interested to assist us with the development of an exciting and relevant GCSE Psychology specification.

This is the first of our initiatives to engage with colleagues, seek views and test ideas to enable us to develop specifications and resources in a consultative way.

If you would like to contribute to the development of the GCSE Psychology specification, you can do so by visiting our new discussion forum, Communities from Edexcel: www.edexcel.org.uk/communities.

You will see that we are asking for your views on a number of initial items. However, you are free to start your own discussion on any point you feel is relevant; all contributions are welcomed.

You don’t have to log in to read a discussion thread, but to contribute to a forum you’ll need your Edexcel Online username and password. Your Edexcel Online username is your email address above. If you can't remember your password, you can regenerate it by going to the Edexcel Online login page at www.edexcelonline.org.uk, clicking on the 'Forgotten your password?' link and typing in your email address into the resultant popup window.

We hope you will take this opportunity to share your views and help us to better understand, and respond to, your needs.
