Dear Science Teacher
Cascading best practice - A teaching and learning showcase 18 March 2005
Established in 2000, the Cams Hill Science Consortium is a
collaborative action research network of teachers,
LEA Advisors and Prof John Gilbert from Reading University. Please
find enclosed details and booking forms
for our forthcoming conference and series of teaching workshops due
to be held in Winchester this March.
Whilst our work focuses upon improving teaching and learning in
Science, we have developed effective crosscurricular
literacy resources and numeracy modelling packages that are of
interest to teachers within other
curriculum areas. If literacy and personalised learning form part of
your whole school aims, or if you are
interested in action research as a tool for raising standards in
schools, we believe that this conference has much to
offer. We feel that, because of this cross-curricular potential, it
could be very useful for a school to send not only
a Science teacher but also teachers of English and/or Maths and
possibly Learning Support Assistants.
Due to generous funding from the Cams Hill Leading Edge Partnership,
the cost of attending the conference is
£65 for the first person and £40 for each additional person. During
the day individual delegates will be able to
attend 6 teacher-led workshops from a choice of 20. Refreshments and
a buffet lunch will be provided. All
schools attending will receive a dissemination pack with outline
details of all 20 case studies and a CDROM of
tried and tested teaching resources and models.
Details and booking formŠcan be obtained via our website
www.thinkingframe.com If you should have any questions, or would like
to find out more about the work of the
Cams Hill Science Consortium, please don't hesitate to contact me.
Yours Faithfully.
