ASE North West Science Education Conference

The Association for Science Education (ASE) North West regional committee is proud to host this comprehensive day of professional development designed specifically for the local teaching community. This event serves as a vital touchpoint for science educators across the North West of England to gather, share best practices, and explore the evolving landscape of the UK science curriculum. The conference will feature a series of intensive workshops led by experienced practitioners and curriculum experts, focusing on the latest pedagogical approaches in Biology, Chemistry, and Physics. Attendees will have the opportunity to engage with cutting-edge research and translate it into actionable classroom strategies that enhance student engagement and attainment.

A major focus of this year's regional meeting is the integration of environmental sustainability into the core science syllabus. Keynote speakers will address the challenge of preparing students for a "green" economy and how to foster a deep understanding of climate science. Additionally, the event will host an extensive exhibition of science resources, where teachers can interact with top-tier suppliers and test out the latest laboratory technology. Whether you are an Early Career Teacher looking for foundational support or a Head of Science seeking strategic leadership insights, this conference provides a collaborative environment to network with peers and invigorate your teaching practice. The day concludes with a panel discussion on the future of assessment in science, providing a platform for educators to voice their perspectives on national policy changes.
