Science and Maths Continuous Professional Development for teachers in England:  

 - what are the system challenges we currently face, and what can we learn from the school-led hub delivery model? 

 

Session recorded: 5th July 2023

 

 

The webinar panel comprises experts in national CPD models discussing such topics as: 

 

  • The challenges around continuous professional development currently experienced by teachers of Science and Maths. Are there any differences for Science teachers versus Maths teachers?
  • What we have learned from the STEM and NCETM school-hubs delivery model - where they are working well, and where they might be improved. 
  • The relevance of the study recently completed by Toby Greany and colleagues at University of Nottingham, "Equity and Quality in Local Learning Systems: The Case Of Primary Maths CPD" and the lessons learned for science.
  • How STEM and Maths CPD is likely to change over the next 5-10 years, and what the impact of technology could be.  
  • Different delivery models seen in other leading OECD nations. 

We welcome attendees from all schools, colleges and universities.  This event will be of particular interest to those involved in teacher training, science education, and policy development, as well as those from wider industry.
