Support I can offer:
Any science support at KS1/2/3/4 and biology A-level. Leadership/management of department. Schemes of work. Classroom management. Being observed in own school as example of good practice. Science investigations/coursework/Sc1. Mentoring NQT/PGCE/GTS. ICT in science. Using your own website for learning. Fine tracking of pupils using conditional formating in excel. Implementation of KS3 national strategy in science and using this at KS4. Making assessment for learning interesting! Strategies for teaching genetics and evolution. Workshops on protein/DNA electrophoresis, use of restriction endonucleases, other DNA techniques.
My outreach day for 2008/9 is Tuesday. I am happy to discuss any ideas you might have for outreach. You can contact me at Sewell Park: 01603 411721 (leave a message and I will ring back) or email doctor_sanderson@yahoo.co.uk. We may be able to plan over the phone or it may be that we need to meet, in which case I can come to see you after school or on my outreach day.
After we have developed some objectives for the work we can send an outreach request form to my line manager at county: Julia Stephens. Click here to download the form.
Webquests Here are some webquests you can use. Please contact me if you need help to produce your own.
Level assessed tasks. Please contact me if you would like help with these
Some other science resources and ideas
Quite a lot of primary science coordinators are asking me about investigations. Please continue to ask, but here are some good textbooks that might help in the meantime.
A model of assessment for learning that can be applied to any subject
AFL target sheets in word.
Tracking spreadsheet for KS3. If you want the KS4 spreadsheet contact me: it's more complex as it has to translate grades to numbers to work out means and then translate this back to grades. doctor_sanderson@yahoo.co.uk
Interactive teaching techniques or KS3 strategy approaches to teaching. See references for details or email me.
Using Oxford University Press' Framework Science as a basis for rewriting schemes of work.
Concept cartoons are really good ways of looking at pupil misconceptions. Here is an example. For more information read active assessment by Naylor and Keogh, David Fulton Publishers or go to www.conceptcartoons.com. See how we have adapted concept cartoons at Sprowston at www.conceptcartoons.com/news.htm Pupils can produce their own.
Level assessed tasks are really easy ways of incorporating AfL into lessons. I can help with planning these. Here are some examples.
