This interactive workshop contains brand new resources for Earth & Environmental Science teachers, helping them to analyse the 2024 exam and best prepare their students for the 2025 HSC.

In this workshop, teachers will:

leverage 2024 RAP Analyses to benefit EES teaching and learning
scrutinise the 2024 exam for emerging themes and commonplace mistakes by students
translate the language within questions into EES knowledge and understanding
pilot mark brand new bespoke questions and sample answers
unpack and attempt brand new high mark questions
identify strategies for cross-module questions
collaboratively develop an exam-style question with marking criteria and exemplar answer

All teachers will walk away with a variety of resources to assist their students in their forthcoming exams.

Feedback from Previous Courses

"Excellent content covering a range of important HSC related issues. I particularly valued analysing different questions, esp those which were poorly answered in last year's HSC exam."

Workshop Delivered by Rob Mahon

Rob Mahon is a passionate practitioner of secondary science teaching with over 30 years experience. When Earth and Environmental Science was first launched in NSW for 2000, he put his Earth Science background to good use and began writing an EES prac manual, which morphed into cowriting the Spotlight textbook. When EES was launched as an ACARA syllabus for 2018, Rob worked with David Heffernan to revise and rewrite their textbook to ensure that teachers (many without a background in this field) would have a tailored resource to support them when the course commenced nationally. Having previously specialised as a school Leader of Pedagogy, he brings this focus to his classroom activities, along with as much fun and music as he can fit in. Rob is an experienced HSC marker and uses this expertise to regularly empower his students to exceed their predicted growth in EES.
