Every secondary school organises science differently.
The science may be familiar. The way it is organised may not be. Different schools use different specifications, curriculum maps, schemes of learning, teaching sequences, assessment approaches, reporting requirements and teaching expectations.
Teaching Efficiently gives you a structured starting point — wherever you're starting from.
Secondary science teachers have a lot to stay on top of.
Specifications and exam requirements • Curriculum maps and schemes of learning • Teaching sequences and curriculum coverage • Lesson planning and preparation • Practical science • Prior knowledge and retrieval • SEND, EAL and individual adjustments • Assessment • Marking and feedback • Recording and analysing marks • Progress tracking • Intervention and reteaching • Reporting • Teachers' Standards • Departmental expectations • School priorities • INSET and professional development • Science news and developments • AI and new technologies • Enrichment and clubs • Science Week and school events • 1iC and 2iC responsibilities • Department administration
Built around the science curricula teachers actually teach.
Teaching Efficiently resources are aligned to the secondary science curricula and examination specifications used in schools across England.
