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
Includes three network sessions plus three full days of practical CPD on these topics:
- Biology - Date to be confirmed
- Chemistry - Date to be confirmed
- Physics - Date to be confirmed
These will look at common practicals, common misconceptions surrounding these practicals, troubleshooting tips and links to required practicals and exams. (Lunch & refreshments included).
We also have an option to attend half day face to face practical sessions please click here for more detail and booking information.
A further alternative option is to attend all sessions including the practical sessions remotely. Please click here for more detail and booking information.

Outcomes
The network sessions will help you to:
- analyse your current teaching and scheme of learning in comparison to the EEF Improving Secondary Science Report
- make decisions about what skills, knowledge and understanding to focus on when choosing practical activities
- plan for preconceptions that students are like to have before starting a new topic
- consider science vocabulary
- develop strategies to promote active reading skills for science
- use simple models of the brain to help explain why learning techniques may be effective
- explore research that supports effective revision
- share effective revision strategies
At the end of the remote practical sessions you will be able to:
- reflect on what constitutes effective practical work
- identify common problems with key practical work
- explore misconceptions in practical work
- evaluate effective resources for practical work
You will have access to wrap around support including access to STEM Community groups with expert advice on hand, STEM Club Champions and STEM Ambassadors
