CALLING ALL SCIENCE TEACHERS

The government has recently launched a Curriculum and Assessment Review. It is crucial that our voices are heard. I have written a submission below, and you are welcome to be a co-signatory!

A qualification where students can get the top 9-9 double grade with 65% over all papers and a strong pass with 28% is tacit acknowledgement that there is too much on these papers and most children will not know most of it. Even the brightest. Cut content. ✂️

***MASTER OF KNOWLEDGE***

@LHS_HighSchool we have launched our masters of knowledge learning strategy which is strategically linked to our school CPD curriculum.

This 🧵 explains what we are doing 👇

We have three strands to our CPD curriculum

Teacher professional development ✅
Leadership professional development ✅
Student scholarly habits ✅

In the first few weeks of school we have identified and shared what being a master of knowledge is to students and WHY it it is important.

The trouble with Restorative Practices in schools is that there is too much focus on using them to respond to incidents and not enough on building community to prevent incidents. You can't restore what you didn't build.

Surface tension is actually a tension. Watch how the soap film acts like a thin elastic band.

Strong words from the IoP about AQA A level physics.

I agree with a lot of what they say - it’s not motivating for students to sit extremely difficult papers. I’ve had lots of good physicists drop physics due to this.

I hope AQA change but we won’t be giving them another chance

Formula triangles suck. There are many reasons not to use them. Stop using them.

Quite pleased with how this looks. Trying to increase exposure to science texts for sixth formers with suggestions of further reading.
