[Catalist] Support workshops for teachers with new science subjects or year groups in their 2019 timetable

Mon Jan 21 17:12:52 AEDT 2019

Hi All, especially to colleagues who have just found out their teaching program in a WA school for 2019.

Are you in need of some help, advice, guidance in planning for your new timetable?
I have these workshops planned for early term 1 2019.
Teachers from AISWA, CEWA and Department of Education schools are invited to attend these workshops.

-          Because we all teach the same curriculum and syllabuses!
Please register via the AISWA PL Calendar if you are teaching in an AISWA school using your AISWA login details. If you don't have these details, check with your school registrar or register as non-AISWA , creating a new account with payment require for the registration to be completed.
If you are attached to a Department of Education school (including independent government schools), please register via the same link. You will also need to create a new account and pay to be actually registered for the workshop.

If you are teaching in a Catholic school, please register via the CEWA PL Calendar using your CEWA login details. If you don't have these, login as a non-AISWA member as indicated above.

New to Teaching Science Yrs 7-10
This is the first in a series of workshops for teachers with a limited background in science, ie. tertiary education does not include all four science subjects - Biology, Chemistry, Earth & Space science and Physics

*         with less than 3 years teaching experience in lower secondary science

*         with limited or no pedagogical training in lower secondary Science education

*         who are teaching years 7, 8, 9 and/or 10 science classes in 2019 for the first time

*         who would like collegial support in teaching science
The initial workshop will address planning for teaching/learning and assessment offering a variety of approaches that are designed to engage and inspire students in science.

Teaching ATAR Courses
This is the first in a series of workshops for teachers
*             who are teaching Yr 11 or 12 ATAR, for the first time in 2019
*             who are teaching in the senior secondary setting for less than 3 years
*             who would like collegial support in teaching the ATAR courses
The initial workshop will address planning for teaching/learning and assessment using the requirements of the SCSA.

Teaching General Courses - Integrated Science or Human Biology
This is the first in a series of workshops for teachers
*             who are teaching Yr 11 or 12 General, for the first time in 2019
*             who are teaching in the senior secondary setting for less than 3 years
*             who would like collegial support in teaching the General courses
The initial workshop will address planning for teaching/learning and assessment using the requirements of the SCSA.

Primary Science Workshops
These meetings are for primary teachers who may be the designated 'Science Leaders' role as well as those who would just like to learn more in this area. It is a discussion forum centred on the points below, as well as an opportunity to participate in the "activity of the day".

Purposes:

*         to discuss the design of primary science learning spaces for the safe practice of science

*         to explore ideas for appropriate primary science equipment

*         to look at issues of storage and management of equipment and science spaces

*         to develop local area support networks of primary science teachers

Please contact me if you have any questions about these workshops or any matters teaching Science.
I wish you all the best for the beginning of the new academic year.
Cheers,
Glenda
