FWTSA are delighted to be working with The STEM Learning Network, the largest UK provider of subject-specific Continuing Professional Development (CPD) for teachers and technicians working with pupils aged 5 to 19.
Through a range of bursaries they offer affordable CPD for science, design and technology, computing, engineering and mathematics.
Supporting teachers and technicians to:
•develop their teaching approaches, pedagogy and subject knowledge in order to provide the best education available
•inspire pupils to achieve their full potential and develop the next generation of scientists, engineers and technicians.

STELLAR Primary Science Network Groups 2017/18
A series of 6 one and a half hour twilight meetings across the year led by Primary Science consultant Nicola Beverley.
Designed to provide subject leaders with the skills to drive science forward in their schools and to improve skills of teachers, TAs and subject leaders to enable highly productive practical science in the classroom.
More details to follow soon.

Primary Science Network Group
A few photos from the meeting on 3rd February 2016.
The group are very enthusiastic - it was difficult to get them to go home at the end of the meeting!
To quote from Andy Watts, science co-ordinator at Ashby C of E.
"can I just say that the year 1/2 team have already tried a few of the ideas from the last session... Awesome impact!"

The group were covering practical activities for year 3 / 4
Classification modelling using all sorts.
Understanding particles, solid, liquid, gas mixing lemonade, oil slat etc.
Testing opacity / translucency / transparency of materials
Sorting coins using magnets
Demonstrating sound travelling through solids using coat hanger ear gongs!

A quote from Nick Gibb, The Minister for Schools, 7 March 2016
The Government are determined to make Britain the best place in the world to study science, technology, engineering and mathematics. Our reforms to the curriculum and qualifications are designed to raise standards to match the best internationally. Our networks of Maths Hubs and Science Learning Partnerships are supporting schools with the aim of improving the quality of mathematics and science teaching, and a £67 million package will train up to 17,500 maths and physics teachers by 2020.
