From Sept 21, the IOP will be running a substantial blended-learning course for science teachers within the English state sector who want to develop their physics subject knowledge and pedagogy. Find out more & apply talkphysics.org/events/skpt2… #TeachPhysics
Open to those who have QTS with a subject specialism not including physics and teaching physics (modules / content) to KS3 and/or KS4 students in a state school in England. The course focuses on the core areas of Forces, Electricity and Energy and will be delivered over two terms from September 2021. Participating teachers will be expected to commit about 30 hours to each of the modules, of which approximately 18 hours will be asynchronous online learning and 12 hours will be delivered live, both in person and online (as interactive tutorials).

Our 'science/religion encounters in the classroom' survey for beginning teachers closes on Monday 7 June. We would really value finding out about your experiences so do take the time to complete it over the next few days or pass it on to others @jpscience @katieclemmey @MAHardman

We’ve been providing physics CPD at no cost to teachers and technicians in the UK & Ireland for many years. When lockdown began we had to move online. Over the summer, we reflected on the benefits of this change and have fed them into our plans for the new term. A thread 👇

All should try to embed some of these questions into your KS3/4 this summer! The thinking behind each resource is exceptional and when used properly will help you to address misconceptions and move on students' understanding of particularly difficult concepts!
