Science Trainees - Ogden Trust

SWIFT Teacher Training are working with the Ogden Trust to offer all Science trainees the opportunity to access the Trust's subject knowledge foundation sessions, these will help our trainees deepen and secure their physics knowledge.

This course provides the foundation knowledge you need for teaching physics at KS3 or even GCSE. If you have a physics education background, the sessions will refresh your learning and help you focus your thinking on the most important bits you might have to teach. If you don’t see yourself as a physicist, the course will provide the physics foundation subject knowledge you need for the classroom.

Each week will cover a different physics topic, working through the conceptual ideas that students and teachers sometimes struggle with: Forces & Motion; Electricity & Magnetism; Energy; Waves; Earth & Space; Matter & Atomic Physics. The sessions for 2024 will be delivered in June/July – each session will run from 6-7pm.
The course will include:

• Six online one-hour sessions of synchronous learning.
• Each week will cover a core physics topic from KS3/GCSE content.
• Each session will be designed as a standalone and will not require preparation or homework.
• There will be opportunities to engage with activities during the sessions (optional) using easily available equipment. We will provide details of what will be needed in advance.
