SUMMARY:Meeting the new Ofsted framework in secondary science - Postponed\, new date to follow
DESCRIPTION:The Ofsted framework introduced in September 2019 requires science leaders to have a clear curriculum vision for the subject\, and be able to implement it effectively. Using Ofsted’s 3Is (Intent\, Implementation and Impact) as a foundation\, this course will guide participants through both the new framework and their current science curriculum\, to ensure that the department\, and its teachers and students\, are better prepared. The course will help identify strengths and weaknesses in your current curriculum provision – from teaching and learning in lessons\, to broader thinking beyond exam specifications that links school science to the outside world. \nLed by Ed Walsh\, Science author\, editor\, curriculum developer and CPD provider.  A Regional Development Lead for the STEM Learning network of Science Learning Partnerships\, Ed is a regular provider of CPD for organisations including the National STEM Centre\, AQA and the ASE. \nCost – Maintained schools £85\, Independent schools £150. \nBook now at http://www.stem.org.uk/rp352 \nDownload flyer

SUMMARY:Cross-curricular opportunities in primary science
DESCRIPTION:Explore practical ways of stimulating creativity\, reinforcing understanding and forming real-world connections between subjects. \nSession 1 – Linking science and ICT\nJulia Briggs (eLIM School Development Advisor) will explore how technology can help learners to observe\, look for patterns and to identify\, group and classify animals and plants. Technology can also be used to support comparative and fair testing and increase opportunities for research. Bring a tablet or laptop to consider a variety of resources that will develop curiosity and excitement\, and help learners to increase the power of the explanations they give for natural phenomena. \nSession 2 – Linking science with history\nDr Alison Trew (Area Mentor\, Primary Science Teaching Trust) is co-author of ‘Standing On the Shoulders of Giants’\, a resource that introduces a framework for learning about famous historical scientists\, which emphasizes their work rather than facts about their lives. She will show how practical enquiries that model those carried out by the scientist help to develop an understanding of how their work was carried out and how scientific ideas have changed over time. She will also share another PSTT resource\, ‘Engineering our World’\, which introduces eight famous scientists and engineers through group-based engineering challenges. \nSession 3 – Linking science with geography\nEd Walsh\, (author\, curriculum developer\, CPD provider\, STEM Learning) will demonstrate the real potential for linking these subjects and improving the quality of T&L in doing so. Not only is there scope to use shared concepts such as the water cycle and geological processes but there are organisations producing high quality ready-to-use curriculum materials. Try out activities from Practical Action and the National Farmers Union and consider how they can be used to engage pupils and provide teachers with effective resources. Furthermore\, developing this link also provides a valuable way into aspects of the curriculum such as citizenship\, global awareness and sustainability. \n£85 per person\, with a 20% discount for bookings made by 14 February \nBook online at http://www.stem.org.uk/rp198 \nDownload flyer

SUMMARY:Team Teach Positive Behaviour Management Level Two - 12 hour training for medium/high risk settings - Day 2
DESCRIPTION:Positive Behaviour Management Level Two is a two-day course designed to deliver proven\, safe strategies for anyone managing challenging behaviour in medium-risk settings. It provides an understanding of the causes of challenging behaviour\, along with respectful\, supportive and practical strategies for de-escalation and crisis intervention. All techniques that we teach are situated within an approach to behaviour management which seeks to minimise the need for physical intervention and maintain positive relationships. \nAimed at individuals who support people with documented special needs or challenging behaviours\, and who may pose a risk to themselves or others\, the course will provide a thorough grounding in practical behaviour management strategies. It will equip individuals with a sophisticated understanding of challenging behaviour\, and the social and legal context around its management. It will cover strategies of personal safety\, team work and de-escalation\, as well as teaching effective positive handling techniques: these include guiding\, escorting and safe holding in various positions. \nFor more information download the flyer here \nBook online\n

SUMMARY:Leading assessment\, moderation and tracking in primary science - Day Two
DESCRIPTION:This course is ideal for teachers who want to gain a greater understanding of the current expectations around assessment and children’s progress in science. \nIt can be taken as a two-day course\, or day 1 as a standalone day. \nDay 1: Where are we now? A national update on the current picture of assessment. A look at in-school formative assessment and what this looks like in terms of science. A consideration of how TAPS can support a formative assessment approach culminating in summative judgements being made. \nDay 2: an in-depth focus on in-school summative assessment and how the PLAN materials can support making summative judgements. How the teacher assessment frameworks needs to be a whole school issue and how to moderate work to ensure the reliability of judgments. A look at nationally standardised summative assessments and how these can be used formatively in the classroom. \nA two-day course: 13 February & 2 March 2020. \nSubject Leader & Assessment Flyer \nCost: £190.00 \nBook now at www.stem.org.uk/rp198
