Science can be a more difficult subject to lead than others, especially within a secondary school with a complex curriculum offer, shortages of qualified subject specialists, health and safety responsibilities, practical work with large numbers of people and non-teaching staff to line manage.
By the end of this one-day intensive course you will be able to:
• Employ a range of strategies to develop and improve teaching and learning within the department
• Use a range of techniques to enable you to lead, support and nurture teachers so you become a high-
performing team.
• Utilise the annual cycle of a Head of Science to strategically lead and manage your department
• Reflect on strategies for dealing with challenges and articulate a range of approaches that can be
employed to overcome these
• Understand key processes such as inspections, appraisals and observations, using these to evaluate the
skills you have and identify areas to develop.
