Early Career Network - Option 1 RC298 / B79

Start date
6 Oct 21
Learning Method
Remote Delivered CPD

Summary

Practical science is an important part of every science teacher’s training. Unfortunately the current circumstances have meant that trainees, NQTs and RQTs have not had the same experience to develop their practical teaching. This is why we have developed a 2 year programme to support our 'early secondary career network' which sits alongside and enhances the Early Career Framework.
Option 1 - £450 per teacher - this course is for this package 
Three full days of practical CPD – one per half term for the first three half terms on these topics:
