Starting to teach post 16 physics can be a daunting prospect. It often falls to experienced colleagues to help coach colleagues who are at the start of their post 16 journey. Time however is short, and coaching can often be reduced to prep-room chats about content and teaching order. This session is designed to help make coaching time more effective.
It will draw on the content of the Institute of Physics’ post 16 Physics Central programme by looking at key messages, demonstrations, and concept development required within each topic. Delegates will get to explore several areas of the post 16 physics curriculum from the point of view of an experienced teacher coaching a colleague.
They will get the opportunity to identify the key concepts and difficulties within topics and explore strategies and demonstrations essential to concept development.
