Pathway to Progress: Empowering Educators for Today’s Classrooms

How can we help young learners grasp and retain essential scientific vocabulary? This engaging workshop, inspired by the Education Endowment Fund's Improving Primary Science report and backed by evidence-based research, will provide practical solutions for supporting vocabulary development in the primary science classroom. We will explore the specific vocabulary challenges students face, introduce effective strategies for vocabulary acquisition and long-term retention, and demonstrate how to create opportunities for repeated, meaningful engagement with key terms. Ideal for educators teaching ages 8-11, this session offers actionable insights to boost student understanding and confidence in science.
