Activate1,: Teacher handbook (Second edition)

Part of the Oxford Smart Curriculum Service, Oxford Smart Activate Teacher Book 1 holds high aspirations for all students to succeed, building on what they have learned at KS2 and supporting them to progress with confidence to GCSE.

Teachers are supported to inspire students' awe and wonder in the science that surrounds them and to help learners develop a science identity that is curious and independent.

Based on the Developing/Secure/Extending assessment framework, this Teacher Book provides all teachers, both specialists and non-specialists, with practical suggestions and guidance to reactive knowledge, trigger student interest, and reflect on their learning and progress.

Links between topics, sciences, and the wider KS3 curriculum are clearly established through curriculum narrative documents.

Informed by up-to-date educational research and tried and tested by (UK) Pioneer schools to ensure that every aspect works for all students, all teachers, and in all secondary science classrooms, Oxford Smart Activate is the next evolution of the best-selling Activate series from series editor and curriculum expert, Andrew Chandler-Grevatt.
