Summary

The Gatsby Charitable Foundation’s Good Practical Science report identified what schools should do to achieve good practical science, including a recommendation that all schools should have a policy document explaining the purposes, outcomes and methods of using practical science in their teaching. The Association for Science Education (ASE) developed resources to help schools meet this recommendation.

The first session will look at the purpose of practical work, and how to plan for effective work. The second session will look at what progression in practical science looks like, and how to ensure all students are included, supported and challenged by the practical work taking place in a department.

The sessions will be facilitated by Euan Douglas, who is Head of Department at one of the schools that trialled and helped develop the resources for ASE.
