Summary

Through this course we seek to build on the practical experiences provided by the Scottish Universities Science School, which is attended by the vast majority of probationer science teachers in Scotland, and offer further opportunities to consolidate and enhance professional networks. 

Through this programme, with practical work at its core, we will focus on enhancing the range of activities which participants will be able to use to support Curriculum for Excellence in their classrooms.  More than half of the practical elements of the course will be devoted to subjects other than participants’ own area of expertise. 

Combined with opportunities for professional networking, the course will offer participants a rich and vibrant programme that will enhance teaching and learning within their institutions.
