Free Getting Ready to Teach events for AS and A level Sciences 2015
To help you prepare for teaching our new AS and A level qualifications, we're running free Getting Ready to Teach events this spring.
What's happening at these events?
At these free online and face-to-face events, our experts will look at how the new courses can be delivered in the classroom and guide you through:
- the structure, content and assessment of our new specifications
- potential teaching strategies, including co-teaching AS and A level
- the new approach to practical assessment, including the Practical Endorsement
- the full range of tools and resources we've designed to help you and your students.
You’ll also have plenty of opportunities to network with fellow teaching professionals, share best practice and get your questions answered by our science team. What’s more, attending these events can count towards your CPD hours too!
Find the event for you!
