Teaching Energy - Hope Sentamu Learning Trust

Description

Hope Sentamu Learning Trust and Physics Partners are offering a series of twilight workshops for teachers of Physics. Each session will have a different focus, and will be delivered by experienced Physics teachers. 

We will discuss the basic concepts and student misconceptions, suggest classroom activities and approaches for practical work, and give opportunities for further sharing of best practice.

About the trainer:

This online session will be delivered by David Farley.

During that time, he was Head of Physics and then Head of Science before moving to school leadership ultimately as deputy head. Throughout his time at school he taught physics to all ages and was also involved in coaching work with trainee science teachers at Edge Hill University.
