FREE online CPD, developed with Imperial College London

Why have we created Reach Out CPD?
by Professor Robert Winston
“If you’re going to single out the most important job in our society, it has to be teaching.
Whenever I stand in front of a primary school class it’s a bit terrifying because they will ask the most difficult questions about science.
It’s often harder to teach an 8 year-old than an 18 year-old, but the rewards are massive because of the enthusiasm you gain. If we want a better society, we have to invest in these younger children.
Science isn’t just for scientists
Primary science isn’t just about nurturing the scientists of the future. It’s about ensuring every child develops a natural curiosity about the world around them and starts to think analytically about situations.
Why should I eat this food or that food? Why is this product better than that? Why should I vote for this energy policy? Science is behind so many of today’s decisions, let alone tomorrow’s.
Helping teachers feel confident
Teachers are key to creating this science-literate society. They can inspire children to think more scientifically. Teacher confidence has been proven to impact children’s outcomes in science, but, naturally, most primary school teachers don’t have a science background.
That’s why we have developed Reach Out CPD – to give every primary school teacher the professional development, support and materials they need to teach science with confidence. And to make it fun!
Leading Learning, Leading Change with Mobile Devices event
An increasing number of schools are buying mobile devices, almost exclusively Ipads to use in class with youngsters.
We provide fantastic CLPL opportunities for you to get the best use of mobile devices, whether in a nursery or senior phase classroom.
To really highlight the benefits afforded by using mobile devices we have organised a whole day event on the first Inservice day in February 2016, and we would be really pleased to see you there.
We have speakers and workshop presenters from schools, primary and secondary from around the UK, and each of the presenters has first hand, practical experience of using mobile devices with learners.
The Agenda is almost ready, but there will be themes of Leading Learning, Leading Change, Literacy, Numeracy , STEM and many more
If you have an Ipad in your school, please bring it along as you will need it for ‘hands on’ workshops, and of course to make digital notes on the day.
We have chosen Ellon Academy as the location for this event as it has the capacity to deal with the expected large numbers attending.
Please sign up at Aberdeenshire Events for this not to be missed event.
