Support for practising teachers
As a practising teacher, you have developed and honed your teaching skills. However, you may decide it’s time to strengthen your science subject knowledge, look at ways to be more creative and engaging or simply improve your teaching practice.
Working scientifically is at the heart of an outstanding primary curriculum, and must be embedded into all phases. As an early career teacher you will have been introduced to the concepts of working scientifically, but do you fully understand the difference between enquiry types and enquiry skills? Do you know how to embed working scientifically within the curriculum?
