Great - thank you - the direct link works - many excellent teaching ideas in the presentations - thank you for your work collating the ideas

Thank you Simon - your resources are fantastic - I like the presentations you have produced with the Ogden Trust - they are a wonderful resource (I have looked over the presentations before, but this morning, the link for the waves presentation fails to open for me).

The 1st of these online workshops for ⭐SCIENCE / MATHS TEACHERS ⭐ is THIS THURS! Prof Jeanne Wilson is fab & has a knack for explaining neutrinos while nailing tricky questions!
Pls share 👇🏻

An MA student I supervise, Ben Ettridge, is doing an interesting dissertation on stakeholders' views on the mathematical knowledge and skills that are of value in the curriculum. If you are interested, please complete this short survey: lnkd.in/db4tBERi

Are you a mathematics teacher in the UK?
Or do you work in a job that requires the regular use of mathematics?

Dr Susana Castro-Kemp and collaborators discussing findings of the project

The Scope SEND project funded by the @nuffieldfoundation.org was launched today!
Dr. Susana Castro-Kemp @scastrokemp.bsky.social and collaborators provided an overview of the project and shared initial insights from their ongoing research.

We are conducting a survey exploring the use of making activities in formal STEM education. We are interested in hearing from STEM teachers of learners aged 5-18 based in England, regardless of whether they currently employ making activities in their teaching.

It was a pleasure to talk about the pros and cons of telling stories with @physicstp.bsky.social. The discussion was based on a project funded by the IOP with @benrogersedu.bsky.social and @liamciniodwyer.bsky.social We tried not to get too distracted by stories to focus on their value in teaching.

This is your LAST CHANCE to sign up for this online physics programme for Y12-13s - applications close on Monday!
