Benefits of Explicit Instruction in Teaching Primary Science
It’s time to change the way you teach science.
Join Noel Pearson for an exclusive webinar to learn how you can balance teacher-directed instruction and inquiry learning strategies to transform your primary school science lessons.
Science has the potential to engage the natural curiosity of students and develop their love of learning. But teaching science content can be daunting for non-specialist primary teachers. And it’s easy for students to become overwhelmed by a challenging science curriculum full of rich concepts.
In this webinar, Pearson will identify the ‘sweet-spot’ between explicit teaching and science inquiry – the optimum balance between teacher-directed instruction and inquiry learning.
In addition, he'll introduce you to Good to Great Schools Australia's extensive range of free resources that support the delivery of explicit instruction for primary years science. These resources combine world-leading teaching methods, blending teacher-directed and inquiry-based instruction for optimal results.
