Professional Development and INSET opportunities
Teachers developing and discussing their own resources during the first day of 2 day KS2 workshop run at the Science Learning Centre in Southampton.
During day 2 of their course, KS3 teachers feedback on their own experiences during initial trials of the Thinking Frames Approach and the impact that this work has had upon learning in their classroom.
Learning from our AZSTT funded action research we have been able to develop both primary and secondary teacher training workshops which we regularly deliver via the Science Learning Centres. These are generally tend to be two day hands-on practical workshops. The first day focuses upon; introducing and explain the Levels Mountain and Thinking Frames Approach to the teachers, sharing a range of useful 'Kitchen Sink Science' activities and then giving teachers an opportunity to plan their own Thinking Frames activities to trial with a target group of pupils. About six weeks later, during the second day of the course, teachers get the opportunity to feedback and share the results of their trials and then practical support to refine and improve their use of the Thinking Frames Approach.
Acting as Consultants we regularly offer teachers a range of INSET workshops for both primary and secondary teachers in their own schools. We have also presented at a variety regional and national conferences. Should you like to find out more about what we can offer, please contact us via www.thinkingframe.com.
