DESCRIPTION:Bookings are open for all three termly meetings of the SEERIH
  Tameside Primary Science Subject Leader Regional Network\n\n\nAutumn te
 rm PM meeting: 13 November 2024\, 13:00-16:00\n\n\nSpring term PM meetin
 g: 12 March 2025\, 13:00-16:00\n\n\nSummer term PM meeting: 25 June 2025
 \, 13:00-16:00\n\n\nWe're delighted that SEERIH's termly Primary Science
  Subject Leader Regional Networks are continuing for 2024-25.\nTo facili
 tate forward planning in schools\, all three meetings are open to book n
 ow. Please book tickets for the sessions you are able to attend. We enco
 urage teachers attend all sessions wherever possible\, in order to get t
 he most out of the experience.\nThe network welcomes new and established
  primary science subject leaders of all experience levels to share and i
 mprove practice\, providing a unique opportunity to speak with other sub
 ject leaders in your region about the issues that are affecting each of 
 you. Expert-led professional development inputs will support you with up
 -to-date issues\, skills and resources.\nAttending these termly networks
  is an interactive and practical way to help you to tackle these issues 
 in your school\, support you in your role as a leader\, raise the profil
 e of science and improve the outcomes for your pupils.\nExpectations of 
 attending the network include engaging with pre-course tasks/reading and
  submitting your response to a gap task. This is a compulsory element of
  the network to ensure the CPD is meaningful and impactful.\n\nYour time
 table:\n\nAutumn term meeting: 13 November 2024\, 13:00-16:00\n\nGUIDING
  PUPILS TO WORK SCIENTIFICALLY\n\nDo your pupils think like scientists? 
 Are they independently able to apply their learning? Combining substanti
 ve knowledge and disciplinary knowledge effectively in science can be a 
 challenge for teachers and pupils. Discover strategies to explicitly tea
 ch the knowledge and skills your pupils need to work scientifically thro
 ughout the primary years. Ensure you are aware of essential health and s
 afety support when undertaking practical science.\n\nSpring term meeting
 : 12 March 2025\, 13:00-16:00\n\nRELATING NEW LEARNING TO THE ‘REAL-WORL
 D’\n\nExplore how to connect science teaching to meaningful examples and
  real-world contexts that can support your pupils to develop an understa
 nding of science and its purpose. Look at how pupils' attitudes and aspi
 rations surrounding science can be improved through a range of teaching 
 approaches. Discover the importance of considering issues such as sustai
 nability and diversity\, equity and inclusion in your science curriculum
  using high-quality resources from the sector.\n\nSummer term meeting: 2
 5 June 2025\, 13:00-16:00\n\nASSESSMENT TO SUPPORT LEARNING AND RESPONSI
 VE TEACHING\n\nHow can assessment approaches be used as diagnostic tools
  to guide planning and teaching? Discover a repertoire of assessment app
 roaches specific to assessing primary science. Uncover how to elicit and
  address the misconceptions that pupils have about various scientific co
 ncepts. Be equipped to return to school with a clear understanding of th
 e purpose of assessment in science and strategies to share with colleagu
 es.\n\nLinked to 'The 10 Key Issues with Children's Learning in Primary 
 Science in England' and EEF’s ‘Improving Primary Science’ Guidance Repor
 t.\nInspired by the findings of The 10 Key Issues with Children's Learni
 ng in Primary Science in England (Bianchi\, L.\, Whittaker\, C. and Pool
 e\, A.\, 2020) report\, SEERIH Subject Leader Networks explore the lates
 t developments in primary science. The report presents classroom finding
 s as seen through the eyes of primary science specialists to stimulate d
 ebate across all parties committed to developing science in primary scho
 ols. It invites us all to reflect upon the findings and to consider the 
 implications to our area of activity or focus.\n
