Post-16 Remote National Science Network: Teaching and Learning in 2021-2022 RC529 / C05
Summary
As colleges and schools return to a more regular form of education, collaboration is more important than ever before. Through this unique collaboration between City of Stoke-on-Trent Sixth Form College, Abbeygate Sixth Form College and West Suffolk College you will have the opportunity to share information on teaching and learning, learn from others and navigate through the changing world of science in post 16 education. You will be provided with expert help from post 16 science practitioners to identify priority issues, signpost support and will be able to develop solutions, drawing on the expertise of others within the group.
This is a series of four network sessions over the 2021-2022 academic year. You are welcome to attend specific sessions at a cost of £30 per session or you can subscribe to the suite of four sessions at a discounted cost of £100. When you make your booking via this page, if you would like to subscribe to the full series please contact Sue Hawley at North Midlands Science Learning Partnership shawley@potteries.ac.uk
At the first session: as we move into a new academic year, we will look at how we are supporting learners to transition from pre-16 to post-16 education. With the ongoing disruption experienced by learners due to the COVID pandemic, diagnosis of knowledge and skills gaps with appropriate intervention strategies will be crucial. In this network meeting, we will share case studies of how different providers are approaching this issue, review teaching and learning resources and have the opportunity to discuss methods of support we can provide.
