Supporting higher attaining students in Science

Exchange Teaching Hub is funding a series of focused professional development events for teachers and leaders of science across Yorkshire and the Humber.

This session will focus on those students whose target is grades 7-9. There will be a focus on those specific skills which students will need to master in order to attain the highest grades at GCSE level.

By the end of this session, you will have:

• considered the difference between core and skills needed by higher attaining students
• Looked at strategies to develop higher level skills within cross-curricular themes
• Discussed how to integrate these skills within schemes of learning.
