Curriculum design for secondary school science NE209 / A22
Summary
Participants can start this course at any time after the advertised date.
Discover the key components of a strong secondary school science curriculum. You will compare different styles of schemes of learning, investigate the evidence base behind different approaches and be able to articulate the choices for your own setting and context.
Use your scheme of learning to develop approaches to practical work and progression in mathematical skills, and explore how you can plan collaboratively in your department to help quality and consistency.
Through our online courses you can enjoy flexible learning, and will be able to refer back to all the course content for 12 months after booking.
