- Who is the Selection And Setting poster for?
- Selection And Setting belongs to the Education section rather than to a school year, because humanities is not something one grade owns. Anyone learning policy & systems can pin it up — a beginner, a student mid-course, or someone revising years later.
- When should you use the Selection And Setting poster?
- Read it before a whole-school setting policy is adopted or abolished on principle. A wall chart earns its place by being glanceable from where the work is happening, so Selection And Setting belongs on the wall where that humanities work actually happens, within glancing distance, rather than filed away.
- What other posters go with Selection And Setting?
- Accountability, Class Size and Who Decides The Curriculum sit alongside Selection And Setting in the Education section. Printed together they make a wall rather than a single sheet, which is how a reference set actually gets used.AccountabilityClass SizeWho Decides The Curriculum
- Is the Selection And Setting poster free to download and print?
- Yes. Selection And Setting downloads as a free PDF with no account, no email and no watermark, like everything else in the Education section. Print as many copies as you like for a home, a classroom, a library or a tutoring group; reselling the file is the only thing the licence rules out.Read the licence
- What size does the Selection And Setting poster print at?
- Selection And Setting is a vector PDF laid out for US Letter, and prints on A4 with Fit to page — the same file, no separate download. Because every mark on it is drawn rather than photographed, it stays sharp enlarged to A3, A2 or A1 at a copy shop. Colour carries emphasis only, so a greyscale print of Selection And Setting loses nothing.Printing guide
