Triple Science Case Study: Collaboration to Support Non-specialists

Comments (0)

From the Triple Science Support Programme, this case study describes a network set up to support non-specialists teaching physics.

The case study includes some background information about the schools involved in Stockport, supported by the local authority, how they produced a guide for addressing both basic knowledge and misconceptions in electricity, and downloadable resources to help teachers to understand all aspects of forces.

Guidance identified as useful to others includes:
• finding adequate time set aside to meet,
• the need to feel comfortable enough to ask questions and share expertise,
• the importance of the network leader to agree actions collectively, and
• using a venue and time that allows members to focus on the project away from distractions.
