Summary

It is important to keep up-to-date with current science matters, including pure subject knowledge, topic specific developments and general pedagogical methods. These short modules will allow teachers of science to update and improve their subject knowledge and consider how best to support students in learning the subject.

This session will help you further develop the subject knowledge required to help when planning and teaching biology, building on your prior knowledge and focusing on tackling tricky concepts and misconceptions.
