Overview

This DfE funded programme will allow you to develop your teaching practices to enhance engagement, reduce misconceptions and ultimately increase attainment within physics.

The programme will consist of:

  • 6 masterclasses (twilights, half termly);
  • Physics SLE coaching visit;
  • Opportunity to gain York St John University accreditation through the Local Independent Project.

You will explore:

  • How to support and enhance your existing Physics knowledge;
  • Key areas of the Physics curriculum;
  • Development of key pedagogical skills focusing on engagement, practical ideas and differentiation.

This programme will support you to develop key Teaching & Learning Strategies which can be shared across your department.  It may also support you to lead on Physics in your school.

2020/21 Programme dates will be confirmed shortly
