Dear Friends and Colleagues,
 
Just a quick reminder of our Zoom and face-to-face HSC teacher PD and twilight student revision workshops this term (primary workshops will resume later in the year):

2. Face-to-Face HSC Teacher PD Workshops

We are running full day face-to-face HSC teacher PD workshops in Biology, Chemistry and Physics. These Preparing for the 2021 HSC Exam (F2F) workshops are extended versions of the online versions, providing more time for collaboration, networking and working through questions. In these workshops, teachers will be:
  • leveraging 2020 RAP Analyses to benefit teaching and learning
  • scrutinising the 2020 exam for emerging themes and commonplace mistakes by students
  • pilot marking brand new bespoke questions and sample answers
  • unpacking and attempting a brand new 9-mark question
  • understanding and developing marking criteria
  • developing strategies for cross-module questions
  • collaborating on responses
All teachers will walk away with a variety of resources to assist their students in their forthcoming exams.

This workshop can contribute 5 hours of ‘Elective PD’, addressing 1.2.2, 1.5.2, 2.1.2 and 6.3.2 from the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers towards maintaining Proficient Teacher Accreditation in NSW.

3. Online HSC Teacher PD Workshops

This term's online HSC teacher PD workshops are repeats of last term. They contain brand new material to 2020 and will provide the opportunity for valuable collegial discussion. In these workshops, teachers will be:
  • leveraging 2020 RAP Analyses to benefit teaching and learning
  • scrutinising the 2020 exam for emerging themes and commonplace mistakes by students
  • pilot marking brand new bespoke questions and sample answers
  • unpacking and attempting a brand new 9-mark question

All teachers will walk away with a variety of resources to assist their students in their forthcoming exams.

This workshop can contribute 4 hours of ‘Elective PD’, addressing 1.2.2 and 6.3.2 from the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers towards maintaining Proficient Teacher Accreditation in NSW.
Happy face's at last term's Preparing for the 2021 HSC Physics Exam online workshop

4. Student Revision Twilight Workshops

We are also running online student revision workshops for each of the HSC sciences. These twilight (3-5pm) workshops have been designed by experienced HSC markers to best prepare students on Module 6 & 7 content and questions (Modules 2 & 3 for Science Extension). In these workshops, students will cover the key points of understanding and content links, plus the styles of questions that encompass the content covered. All students will walk away with a variety of resources.
Please do forward this email on to any colleagues you think might be interested.
