Teaching strategies for key curriculum topics (16-19) Module 1

This course is designed to help you find new ways to support learners in understanding topics that are a crucial part of both UK and Irish curriculums. The course is comprised of two optional modules, covering strategies for different topics in chemistry.

Module 1 covers the following topics:

• Formulas and calculations
• Organic mechanisms
• Energy changes in chemical reactions
• Analytical chemistry: NMR with IR

This course is most suited to teachers who may be:

• early on in their career (but not a student or trainee)
• looking to add to their existing knowledge and confidence
• keen to gather new ideas and resources for teaching key topics

The format of each module is a series of four sessions – you will complete these once a month. By completing the sessions, you will qualify for a certificate of attendance to add to your professional development portfolio/record.

We will also ask you to complete some short tasks outside of the sessions, which you will discuss with your course facilitator and fellow participants during the sessions. These will be provided approximately one month in advance of each session on the module event support page you will be given access to.

Prerequisites

Participants must be members of Teach Chemistry to access this course and must be a teacher in a educational establishment within the UK or ROI.

Additional information

Support from your subject or school leadership team is a critical factor in successful professional development. When you sign up for a module, we’ll ask you to provide details of a senior member of staff who is responsible for your CPD.
