Science educators and technicians, we want to hear from you! Tell us what it's like to teach/work in science education in the UK and Ireland. Survey closes 9am on Monday 5 June: https://t.co/y3CVtJwPcI

@MrOhm93_20 @Mallrat_uk @jallcock01 @IOPTeaching *blushing* thank you very much

[Daisy Fox @physicsfox_ed]

@helenrey This looks like a David Farley drawing! He does a great electromagnetism session.

@DocWhalley @KathPhys Thanks for the data

[Jack Worth @JackWorthNFER]

DfE has published 2023 ITT targets: expects to need more trainees in subjects that are already struggling to recruit, further compounding teacher supply challenge

Our updated forecast suggests LESS THAN HALF of required secondary trainees will be recruited this year 😲🧵

.@educationgovuk has issued updated guidance on the induction of early career teachers. Here is everything schools need to know

@Hookean1 @ogdentrust @PhysicsNews @STEMLearningUK @PhysicsPartners IOPSpark has CPD videos both in the domains series, which covers physics topics and an ECT series, which looks at physics pedagogy in alignment with the ECF. I suppose the bigger question is why the teaching community don’t know they’re there.

@teachingofsci I’m not crying, you’re crying 😭

@DrStevenChapman @JohnJCrace This is one of my favourite tweets of the night 🤣

[Daisy Fox @physicsfox_ed]

@DocWhalley @PhysicsNews @IOPTeaching Have a lovely last day my friend and good luck for your future endeavours.

[Daisy Fox @physicsfox_ed]

@GrahamYapp I was just thinking the same 🤣

[Daisy Fox @physicsfox_ed]

A colleague discussed babies learning to walk in a lecture a while ago. She said some babies can walk before they’re a year old, some take up to 18 months. Would we say a child who takes a bit longer is a bad walker? I’ve been thinking about this a lot recently.

@cmphysics @ChatPhysics @DocWhalley @Hookean1 @BenRogersEdu @DrDavidBoyce Interesting. I think the confusion occurs because the ‘how quickly’ bit gets lost in the PE definition. Building up a powerful tennis shot: you’d get arms, hips and legs right in the swing to maximise force, then build your technique to increase racquet head speed for more power.

@RobinSGriffiths @charlesmtracy This is great news!x

[Daisy Fox @physicsfox_ed]

@DocWhalley Good luck! Sure you’ll smash it!

[Daisy Fox @physicsfox_ed]

I felt very accomplished tonight having completed the #GCQChristmasChallenge to then find out, it’s designed for high school kids 🤣

[Daisy Fox @physicsfox_ed]

@AndySaunders_1 @BNBuzz @BDLpub @HachetteBooks Great news! Well done Andy!x

@ChrisDey4Grange @BorisJohnson Are you, therefore, suggesting that when the next leader is appointed there should be a general election? #democacy

[Daisy Fox @physicsfox_ed]

@ChatPhysics All of it! I find it fascinating and I’m constantly in awe of what can be achieved with medical physics
