This NESA ACCREDITED workshop is designed for teachers new to teaching HSC Investigating Science plus those who would like to refamiliarise themselves with the content, background theory and make connections across the different modules of the HSC Investigating Science syllabus. We will be unpacking:

Scientific Investigations
Technologies
Fact or Fallacy?
Science and Society
Opportunities for Depth Studies

In addition, we will connect with the 'assumed knowledge' from the Year 11 syllabus.

NESA ACCREDITATION

Completing Theory for HSC Investigating Science Teachers will contribute 5 hours of NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA) Accredited PD in the priority area of Delivery and Assessment of NSW Curriculum/EYLF addressing Standard Descriptor(s) 2.1.2 from the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers towards maintaining Proficient Teacher Accreditation in NSW.

A Certificate of Completion will be sent to Graduate Teachers for their evidence.

FEEDBACK FROM PREVIOUS PARTICIPANTS

"The discussion and resources were brilliant. Having only seen colleagues teaching the course, it made me feel much more confident about actually teaching it in a classroom myself".
