Lead contact Ian Cooper Date submitted 8.11.2017 Course summary Notes Short description of the course (e.g. objectives and expected outcomes) The course is an opportunity for teachers at various stages in their career who strive to increase their knowledge, experience and pedagogical skill around the subject of physics. The course will be taught over 10 sessions and will explore the fundamental key concepts with a general focus on the new GCSE. For each of these topics candidates will explore and practice the key and develop experience on alternative hands-on opportunities that help explore practical’s and develop students understanding of the topic further. The aim of the course is to support teachers who will teach physics at KS3 and KS4. Through a variety of activities, guided independent study and discussion groups, teachers will gain confidence and familiarity with all topics in order to provide a good level of subject delivery with further opportunities to stretch students and explore the phenomenal subject of physics. The course has been designed by experienced physics teachers at KS4 and KS5. Ian Cooper (BEng Hons, PGCSE) with 13 year experiences teaching from KS3 to KS5 and Dan Woffindin (BSc Hons, experience teaching from KS3 to KS5. Other PGCE) 14 years’ teachers from across the trust will support hosting the sessions to ensure candidates are exposed to best practice.
