Teaching Acceleration - online session

Description

Half-termly Subject Knowledge CPD for non-specialist teachers of physics and ECTs

Session topic: Teaching Acceleration

This workshop equips will equip teachers with effective strategies for teaching acceleration. Teachers will explore methods for calculating acceleration, examine how resultant forces influence acceleration, and look at the required practical for measuring acceleration. The session also offers techniques to support students in tackling acceleration-related calculations, enhancing their problem-solving skills and confidence.

Physics Partners is a charity that provides free support to physics teachers in state secondary schools in the UK. Their mission is to improve physics teaching and inspire students to consider studying physics at A-level.

This academic year we are offering a programme of support for non-specialist teachers of physics and ECTs in the East Midlands area.

The programme of support for this year is free and all sessions will be online. The link to join the CPD will be sent out after delegates register.

Sessions are led by Neal Gupta, who has been teaching since 1993 and has experience in four different schools. At his last school, he was Head of Physics, STEM Coordinator and Head of Upper School, an SLT role. Since 2008, Neal has also worked as a consultant for the Institute of Physics supporting the teaching of physics primarily across the East Midlands.
