***PHYSICS TEACHING JOB***

Are you dreading going back to school this January? Would you like to join a department where staff wellbeing and workload is a top priority?

Here's a 🧵 of reasons why you should apply to work in my department!

really nice blog - useful if you are told to plan lessons in I,we,you format. The cycles idea is crutial making a lesson follow 1 complete 'I we,you' might work for one topic for other lots of mini cycles... This changed my teaching!

Got me thinking I wonder if Carousel could make different difficulty levels for retrieval??? The cued retrieval would work well with the new addition of images!

Ironically, in science exams however precise the definition you gave your students, the mark scheme will find a way to render it insufficient.

Today I received 0% of the results of my final year of Durham University. The pro vice chan for *Student Experience* told me to my face amid this dispute that the £37,000 I have paid is for the piece of paper at the end. Now that piece of paper is an expensive participation award🧵1/5

been thinking same - would love to do maths as well

will be interesting to read

#TeamHinterland indeed, thanks for all your updates through out the day Chris !

Many of you aren’t aware of what is going on at UK universities

A spiral of low pay, pension cuts and casual contracts have plunged the nation into strike

Students won’t graduate. Some of the most talented people will leave. Universities will lose accreditation

***COMPETITION***

Oops, silly me. I ordered 4 too many copies of my KS3 physics workbook so *have* to give some away.

One will be given to:
-Someone who retweets this
-Someone who likes this
-Someone who comments & tags in a friend/colleague. The tagged person will also win one

good read, I remember attending an IOP support for teaching physics cpd that gave a sinilar tip for resistance of a wire required practical. Both good alternatives and thoughts for why to still teach 'worst circuit ever'.

This link contains ~200 programs (MSc & PhD) in Physics, Applied Physics, Astronomy, Earth & Space, Planetary, and other related programs waiving GRE, App fees & providing Fully-funded Scholarships for FALL 2023 in USA & Canada

I did some cpd during lockdown with Alan Denton doing it. It was fantastic and would recommend anything he offers!

This is a blog i've wanted for a while

Mika Breidenstein Students knew there was no consequence to their behaviour.

Detentions were removed.

Many happily took the conversation on the chin and carried on. They’re smart.

Restorative conversations can work, but after a student has been held to account for actions.

If you teach Edexcel FP1 then feel free to share this with your students.
Learning stuff for Maths is new to my lot so I created this to help. #mathschat

***FINISHED - KS3 PHYSICS WORKBOOK***

I'm quite proud of this so please share widely - I've finished all of KS3 physics in a mammoth workbook.

KS3 science is oft neglected so I think something like this was very needed.
