This morning, our PGDE Scientists got fantastic input from RoySocChem Scottish Education and Stuart Farmer - stuartphysics.bsky.social (IOPScotland)

"I came to realize that effective teaching is not about keeping information from kids, but providing the information kids need to think about and getting them to think hard about it...." Top stuff from Zach Groshell in "Just Tell Them" amazon.com/Just-Tell-Them…

Always a pleasure to speak with the next generation of science teachers, to inform them of the support available from IOPScotland and IOP support for teaching physics, and to use some Perimeter Institute resources for some cognitively active learning Edinburgh Napier Teacher Education

If you want a quick summary of the Technical Framework and the direction of travel of curriculum reform in Scotland give the latest @EducatioScot podcast a listen. The IOP support for teaching physics curriculum guidance gets recommended too, see iop.org/about/publicat… IOPScotland

This morning’s chores were accompanied by Darren Leslie Stuart Farmer - stuartphysics.bsky.social talking to Andy Brown This was an excellent, enthusiastic& realistic insight into the CIC; the challenges and the triumphs of influencing improvement within Scottish Education open.spotify.com/episode/0dyQ5r…

Darren Leslie Stuart Farmer - stuartphysics.bsky.social Andy Brown Finally got around to listening - always great to hear Andy's thoughts. Time for subject specific professional learning is so important. The mistake of focusing on skills over knowledge was made twice: first in the curriculum for students, and in development for teachers.

Really interesting points on ‘knowing the dots to join the dots.’ Reassured by the research within the CIC discussion papers. Hopeful that the work going on with teachers in the CIC core groups will positively impact the need for knowledge. Darren Leslie Stuart Farmer - stuartphysics.bsky.social
