Chemistry SKE
SKE starts you thinking about your subject in terms of pupil learning. It forces you to begin thinking about topics and concepts from the perspective of the teacher, and the activities you can use to demonstrate and teach the content, not simply learning the knowledge and demonstrating it yourself in an exam.
This SKE course has not only re-taught me topics and improved my knowledge and confidence but has made me think about it in a way that will benefit my pupils and hopefully make me a better teacher.

Extended access to the course material
SKE students continue to have access to our online resources for 1 year after completing the course, so that they can refer to the online material as they train to become a teacher. Previous students have found this extremely helpful when lesson planning in their first placement school as well as having a valuable relevant source of information to refer back to as and when required.
