Maximizing progress for learners with lower prior attainment in science SL274
Discover techniques to support students with lower prior attainment and maximize their achievement.
Summary
Are you looking for support to maximize the achievement of learners with prior attainment up to grade 5 in GCSE Science? As there are many reasons for lower prior attainment, we will explore a variety of strategies to maximize learning and engage pupils, whilst maintaining high expectations in the subject. We will also identify interesting contexts to use in your teaching and consider how to help students feel that science is 'for them'.
