Description
Yr 7 - 10 New to Science Workshops- conducted as a joint venture between AISWA and CEWA. DoE teachers are also welcome.
This series of workshops is for teachers:
- with a limited background in science, ie. tertiary education does not include all four science subjects - Biology, Chemistry, Earth & Space science and Physics
- with less than 3 years teaching experience in lower secondary science
- with limited or no pedagogical training in lower secondary science education
- who are teaching years 7, 8, 9 and/or 10 science classes in 2018
Participants need to commit to:
- actively participate in workshops
- prepare for sessions by doing activities with their classes or in their own time
- to present their findings and their work for the group discuss
- share resources they may develop
- be involved with any digital group discussions that may arise from the face-to-face meetings
Although this is planned as a series of workshops, participants may choose to attend a selection of the workshops on offer.
Desired outcomes:
- to enhance the confidence, skills, and effectiveness of teachers new to teaching science in the lower secondary setting
- to develop communities of teachers for the sharing of resources and ideas
- to encourage teachers new to teaching science to continue
