Learning
Skills for Science
One
of our flagship programmes, supporting professional
development of science teachers. LSS has been established
in collaboration with the Weizmann Institute of Science
and the Nuffield Curriculum Centre. Starting with a
pilot in 2004, the project now involves over 400 teachers
and 80 trainers across England. Courses are also about
to start in Northern Ireland and Wales.

training courses and cluster sessions around the country.
Our list is arranged by region, to make it easy to find
your nearest events.
