Summary
If you have been asked to teach Physics and it is outside your specialist area, this course is for you.
It has been developed with the Institute of Physics and throughout the course we will develop your understanding of the principles of Physics and the skills and strategies needed to teach the subject effectively and improve student motivation and attainment. This, in turn, will increase your confidence to teach Physics at GCSE.
