By We Are In Beta
Science specialist or not, join us to learn how Adam Boxer and his team write, use and embed booklets across their department to reduce workload, increase consistency and improve teaching skill.
🎁 Everyone who registers will be entered into a prize draw to win a set of Adam’s latest book ‘Teaching Secondary Science: A Complete Guide’  for their Science team.*
💰You’ll also be made a very special offer to access Carousel Learning - the online quizzing tool Adam designed to help students remember more - at a special discount. Don't miss out.**
If you’ve ever led or worked in a Science department, you’ll know how hard it can be: staffing, resourcing, routines, training, teaching and learning etc.
The level of planning, in terms of both content and resources, can add an additional layer of pressure no one needs.
Leaving this completely up to individual teachers creates work and can lead to inconsistency across the team.
One way of relieving this pressure is by writing and using booklets.
But:
How do you write them? What should they and should they not include?
Who writes them? How do you QA them?
How do you use them in lessons?
How do you ensure teachers use them consistently?
To what extent do they drive assessment?
How can they be used to reduce workload and increase consistency?
What are the pitfalls you need to avoid?
In this live demonstration of a KS3 booklet, join us to learn how Adam Boxer, Head of Science at The Totteridge Academy, uses booklets to:
Reduce workload
Increase consistency between teachers
Gather really powerful data about the curricula diet students get across the department
Support teachers to improve their teaching
Meet the presenter:
Adam is the Head of Science at The Totteridge Academy, Co-founder Carousel Learning and CogSciSci and Author of Teaching Secondary Science: A Complete Guide and Cracking Key Concepts in Secondary Science.
Totteridge Academy - part of United Learning Trust - is a rapidly improving school in North London.
Who is this master class for:
Senior leaders who want to learn about how to reduce workload pressures on teachers, not just in Science, and generate more consistency across curriculum planning and delivery
Subject leaders (in any subject not just Science) who want to learn more about how booklets are written and implemented in lessons to improve consistency across their team.
