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

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. Find out more about this important work: scopesend.com/home

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. qualtrics.kcl.ac.uk/jfe/form/SV_...

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! @ogdentrust.bsky.social @chatphysics.bsky.social @isaacphysics.org @rbrockphysics.bsky.social @hookean.bsky.social #iteachphysics #chatphysics

Are you interested in studying for a PhD in science education? In @crestem.bsky.social we have two scholarship now open - the Ros Driver (for science education) and the Bernard Dawson scholarships. More information here: www.kcl.ac.uk/ecs/research...

A reminder that applications are still open for the KCL Optics Summer 2025 for Y12 girls - please share the link with interested students and teachers. The deadline is the 23rd of April: www.kcl.ac.uk/events/optic...

Do stories in science lessons help learning? @rbrockphysics.bsky.social @liamciniodwyer.bsky.social and my new paper in the Journal of Research in Science Teaching explores the impact of stories in science lessons. See the full paper here: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10....
