Inset provided by Ian Dawson

http://thinkinghistory.co.uk/CPD/CPDNewKS3PoS.html

In Autumn 2007 Ian Dawson is running a series of courses relating to the new QCA programmes of study for Key Stage 3.

The course is built around the major content strands defined in the new PoS and will:

* familiarise teachers with the aims and content of the new KS3 PoS
* demonstrate ways in which outline activities and depth studies can combine to create a coherent scheme of work across KS3
* demonstrate how topics and concepts currently taught can be integrated within the new PoS framework
* demonstrate a range of teaching activities that can be used to teach the new PoS effectively and assess pupils’ progress
* increase teachers’ confidence and ability to plan schemes of work for the new PoS and help them look forward to teaching it

Details of the annual conference, held over the course of the first full weekend in July each year, can be found on the SHP website at http://www.leedstrinity.ac.uk/shp/Conference/index.htm and details of INSET sessions run at other times in the year are available from this page http://www.leedstrinity.ac.uk/shp/INSET/index.htm.
