Summary

Are you looking for ways to develop your A level physics teaching and expand learning opportunities for your students? Perhaps you are leading teaching and learning in physics and looking for fresh ideas or ways to improve engagement, attainment and achievement?

You will develop engaging approaches to core topics, discussing advances in physics which can put the subject content into practical contexts. You will examine ways to support learning through diagnosing and responding to misconceptions and prior learning, making connections between subjects and promoting independent learning, alongside effective teacher input.

Sessions will use effective and varied practical to support and extend the skills of your students and make links to the curriculum learning.
