Abstract
It is perceived that Outreach activities are primarily conducted to raise the profile of the department and the subject with a view to recruitment. However, we highlight a range of benefits to teaching practice and assessment of practical teaching at tertiary level that can arise from such activities. In particular, engaging with secondary school teachers can provide invaluable insight into successful teaching and learning strategies in particular for first year undergraduates.
