Oak Academy focused CPD: New 90 minute CPD modules for primary science
The cost of each CPD session is £40 per school. This enables up to three teachers to attend from the same school.
This year, the Centre for Industry Education Collaboration (CIEC) is launching an exciting series of short, focused online CPD modules for primary teachers. Designed to fit around busy schedules, each after-school session will help you get to grips with the new Oak National Academy primary science resources for Year 1 to Year 6.
Choose from a range of engaging sessions throughout the year which will explore different aspects of Oak’s new resources, supporting you to plan effectively across year groups and develop confident assessment approaches. Led by CIEC’s advisory teacher and primary science curriculum development lead for Oak, Nicky Waller, each module will build subject knowledge and teaching confidence, with ideas you can apply immediately in your classroom.
The cost of each online CPD session is £40 per school. This enables up to three teachers to attend from the same school and choose from the following options.
