Dorset-grown CPD
Purely a start….
Glosmaths: a sample First steps: who decided? Intended outcomes
Next Steps
Who? What? Why?
Bringing it into focus
Content? Format? Responsibilities? Teaching, as well as learning
Creating a Structure Why Teach Mechanics?...3 Question Prompts to support the teaching of
mechanics….4 Mechanics Starter Kit……….7 Module specifications by Awarding Body……8 Resources: Kinematics………9 Resources: Statics…….61 Resources: Dynamics…………87 Resources: ‘…and Finally’, including ‘Things to make you go Hmm’..136
Why Teach Mechanics?interpretation of differential equations, the
mathematical experience is deepened and challenged. The study of mechanics is thus fully justifiable in terms of mathematics learning, but also, if sympathetically taught, can link students into a rich historical and cultural tradition.
Fundamental to an effective appreciation of all this, is an understanding of the notion of a mathematical model, together with its very precise vocabulary,
and a modelling cycle, moving repeatedly between…
Question prompts… Find an example of a body whose centre of gravity
can be established by symmetry; and another … Give an example of a body whose centre of gravity
could not reasonably be established by symmetry; and another …
Aiming for generality Give me an example of a body moving with a
variable acceleration. Give me really peculiar example. Give me a general example. Give me an example of a body in equilibrium. Give me a peculiar example etc
Getting Equipped
Making it easy for colleagues to put ideas into practice
Finance vs flexibility: the contents of the ‘equipment box’
Pulling it Together
Refining ideas Holding everyone to account Editing…and editing….and editing …to completion
Dissemination
Best laid plans…. Plan B Teachers are using materials in
different ways
Benefits to participants
Reflection on practice: what is effective teaching and learning?
Making links across the curriculum Giving confidence make teaching
more engaging and motivating Maintaining contact
What could you do with….
Card CoG Treasure Hunt Match-Up Tasks from Pictures Unjumble Video Clip
In conclusion….
Working with colleagues from different schools is in itself constructive CPD
A clear focus is important Tasks and responsibilities need to
be very clear
