This academic year just past has been one of the busiest of recent memory. There has been some wholescale changes to most of the courses that I have been teaching, mostly due to a desire to up-the-ante by me. In no particular order:
Did these help? Time will tell. The AP-1 results were good, in that they were far higher than the global average, but lower than that of the rest of the school. For some reason College Board thinks that it is ok to write an exam that has a vastly lower pass rate than other subjects (e.g. Chem, Maths and Bio). Do they want people to avoid taking physics? Do they want physics teachers to be frowned upon by the school management? Do they want students to fail to get into good universities? Physics is a mathematical and problem-solving subject, and therefore, waffly questions are not generally appreciated by the students that are inclined to take the subject. What of the future? The plan is to further push for more independent learning. The hard part is to avoid "project fatigue", where students are doing project work in most of their subjects! Projects should be something special rather than a chore. Should we be moving away from standardised exams? This would mean driving students away that are aiming to study in the UK university system and effectively handing them to our rival Warwick Academy, but maybe getting some of their students that are heading to the US/CAN. Goals for the last two weeks, while stuck in Maine Camp:
