Why should learners join this course?
This course will support teachers of science to develop new teaching strategies for supporting learning at home. We will address issues around student engagement and time management, assessment and feedback, practical science and the role of parents.
Whilst teaching remotely may be new, you will be supported to draw upon what you already know and the resources you have already to hand. You will explore a variety of asynchronous teaching and learning tools, and collaborate with other teachers in designing teaching sequences.
