Join us for the 2nd annual Scottish ITE Professional learning conference, developed in collaboration with the Royal Society of Chemistry, the Institute of Physics, the Royal Society of Biology.
Attendance
The Royal Society of Chemistry is keen to encourage and enable as many people as possible to attend our virtual events, to benefit from the networking opportunities and the chance to hear talks from leaders in the field. If you would like to discuss accessibility, please contact us to discuss your requirements so that we can enable your attendance.
Themes
The aim of this meeting is to bring together all secondary science student teachers to provide a forum to discuss the current challenges in your student year and support you as you move into your third placement and probationary year.
The format is ideally suited as it focuses on discussion rather than traditional dissemination and, by bringing together current & probationary science teachers in Scotland, aims to stimulate and define your own teaching practice.
The sessions are intended to encourage reflective discussion and will employ a range of delivery styles. The sessions are informed by education research and evidence based teaching.
By the end of the day you will:
09:30 – 10:30 - Keynote Speaker – James McEnaney
10:30 – 10:45 - Comfort break
10:45 – 11:30 - Sharing teaching practice - How can we draw on others?
11:30 – 12:30 - Sharing teaching practice - Supporting classroom practice
12:30 – 13:30 - Lunch
13:30 – 14:30 - Teacher Panel Discussion – Learning from probationers
14:30 – 15:30 - Student teacher networking session
15:30 – 15:45 - Comfort break
15:45 – 16:30 - Wellbeing in education – Dr Andrew Chandler-Grevatt
Professional development standards
