Improving science in colleges

Her Majesty's Chief Inspector, Miriam Rosen

Ofsted has published a report which identifies the ways in which successful colleges have improved the quality of their science teaching

Improving science in colleges - a survey of good practice reports that in highly successful departments, well-motivated subject teams developed high quality resources and agreed joint approaches to assessment and support for students. Staff actively looked for improved ways of working and shared innovative best practice ideas with each other.

A photograph of a teacher standing in a white lab coat, speaking with a class of children in a laboratory, is superimposed on a colourful background. Text reads "Teach Chemistry means support for classroom and staff room".
