Research School Network: Improving Secondary Science EEF guidance report evidence deep dive day

In this collaboration between Hants and Dorset Science
Learning Partnership and HISP Research School we will be
exploring and exemplifying the recommendations from the
EEF’s Improving Secondary Science guidance report:

• Preconceptions: build on the ideas that pupils bring to
lessons
• Self-regulation: help pupils direct their own learning
• Modelling: use models to support understanding
• Memory: support pupils to retain and retrieve
knowledge
• Practical work: use practical work purposefully and as
part of a learning sequence
• Language of science: develop scientific vocabulary and
support pupils to read and write about science
• Feedback: use structured feedback to move on pupil’s
thinking

Through this training day, we will look in depth at each of
the recommendations from the guidance report and seek
to translate this into classroom practice, so that secondary
science teachers have a stronger understanding evidence
informed practice in science teaching.

This training day is suitable for science teachers looking to
adapt their classroom practice and heads of science looking
to implement change within their department.
