Teacher Continuing Professional Development

Explore SEPnet's Continuing Professional Development (CPD) programs designed to support and enhance physics teaching for educators at all levels.

Learning Like a Scientist: Teacher CPD

SEPnet offers CPD for teachers exploring how to develop scientific enquiry and ‘working scientifically’ skills in the classroom.

The session uses the hands-on Mystery Tubes activity to explore how scientists ask questions, develop hypotheses, build models and use evidence to test their ideas. It considers how making the scientific process explicit can help students develop skills that are valuable both within and beyond science.

During the session, you will:

  • Explore how the scientific process can support ‘working scientifically’ in the classroom.

  • Experience the Mystery Tubes activity and consider how it develops enquiry skills such as questioning, communication and creativity.

  • Explore ways to develop students’ critical thinking and confidence in evaluating evidence.

  • Consider how to help students see science as something they can actively participate in, supporting their science capital.

The session will help you develop practical approaches for making scientific enquiry more visible in your classroom and supporting students to think and work like scientists.

Shattering Stereotypes: Teacher CPD

SEPnet offers CPD workshops for primary and secondary teachers exploring gender stereotyping and unconscious bias in STEM, based on our Shattering Stereotypes programme.

The session explores how gender stereotypes can influence subject choices at GCSE and A level, and ultimately participation in STEM careers. Teachers will consider how stereotypes are communicated in schools and explore practical ways to challenge them.

During the session, you will:

  • Explore how gender stereotyping can affect subject choice and participation in STEM.

  • Consider diverse STEM careers and challenge assumptions about who works in STEM.

  • Explore practical strategies for tackling gender stereotyping in your school.

  • Develop ways to discuss these issues with students, colleagues and parents.

The session will help you start conversations about gender stereotyping in your school and become a champion for more inclusive subject choices and STEM participation.
