Revision.
It is seemingly a thing that every teacher feels like they need to do for their pupils to be successful.
But why? If you've taught it well, why do you need to do anything? Surely its now their responsibility?

I have relatives of mine who have recently become teachers and the most common questions they ask is how do I plan a lesson and why does planning take so long?
It doesn't have to.

Did the internet change education? I don't think it did.
Will AI change education? I don't think so.

Since qualifying in 2017, I reflect on the points I have wanted to leave teaching and what may push me over the edge.
The story of physics is intertwined with the stories of people. We are delighted to be able to share this collection of amazing, amusing and enlightening stories from Richard Brock, a former physics t...
In my time as a teacher, I have been repeatedly urged to adopt generic one size fits all methods which fundamentally collapse when applied to the rigour of science.
