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

Advanced Mechanics
Electromagnetism
The Nature of Light
From the Universe to the Atom
Opportunities for Depth Studies

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

NESA ACCREDITATION
Completing Theory for HSC Physics 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 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.
