About the conference
This year's conference aims to explore
the characteristics of an effective teacher in the sciences with a
view towards developing a greater understanding into how we can
best attract, train and support these teachers throughout their
professional career.
The SCORE annual conference will
address some of the key themes and debates surrounding effective
teaching in the sciences including:
• What does the term 'effective teacher in the sciences'
mean and can it be captured?
• How do education systems
measure effectiveness?
• Prior subject knowledge in the sciences; how important is
it?
• How does current Government policy support effective
teachers?
The SCORE annual conference is open to all
organisations and individuals with an interest in science
education.
