Workshop Overview:
This workshop will offer opportunities to carry out successful fieldwork in relation to supporting the teaching and learning of biology. Designing an investigation is a central part of the workshop, allowing you to work in small groups to explore the key issues involved in each of the criteria and to experience first-hand the challenges presented to students. You learn through practical experience and come away with a toolbox of skills to take back to your school to improve and further develop fieldwork for your own residential courses or on their own school grounds. You will increase their confidence to use the environment as a context for inquiry, helping to raise student achievement in internal assessment and field-based learning. The workshop will cover procedures for conducting and organizing individual project work safely, using risk assessments, Site Working Information Cards (SWIC) and Groups Away from Permanent Supervision (GAPS).
