Consultancy & Courses

We can offer you different types of support from consultancy (working with you and your team on a one-to-one), course development (designing a course based on your needs for you to deliver), course development and delivery (designing a course based on your needs and delivering it to smaller or larger groups, from twilight in-school settings through to conference presentations and workshops).

We can offer an on-line Continued Professional Development resource through the AstraZeneca Science Teaching Trust website. We thank this Trust for their support during 2002-5, during which time significant funding enabled us to work with primary schools across the country. The CPD Unit is accessible on-line and provides a stand alone training resource for teachers interested to know more about Personal Capabilities.

Resources

We also have a range of classroom display materials, games and projects and our exciting new publication 'Smart Science' a Key Stage 2 Resource pack to Activate Personal Capabilities in Science.

'During the spring term, a 'personal capabilities' science based project is undertaken in Year 5 in conjunction with the Centre for Science Education at Sheffield Hallam University and timetabled for a minimum of five hours per week. Although the project is cross-curricular in nature and includes mathematics, literacy and design and technology, the main focus is on science. Overall, the project guidelines from the Centre for Science Education are excellent and focus on a space adventure entitled 'Out of this World'
