Synoptic essay guidance: Science

A 2000-word essay which brings together the knowledge that you have learnt about teaching Science over the year plus is a summary of what you have learnt through doing the Patches and PIP sessions.

There are two parts to this essay: -

  1. What are the defining characteristics of your subject? You should refer to the Teaching Standards, Science National Curriculum, Science GCSE syllabuses and EEF/DfE guidance which have been referred to during the course.  Also, you must include links to Children’s Rights.
  2. Following from this: - How has the learning from your research / literature / assignments / lectures / lessons impacted on your own classroom experience in implementing effective Science pedagogy? What was important? This is a chance for you to outline your own ideas but must be supported by reference to literature and wherever possible your own experience. You are also able to use pictures of work by pupils that you have collected in Pebblepad if you want to but only if it is relevant to the point being made.

The layout of the essay should be something along the following lines. This is just for guidance. You do not need to follow it exactly.
