Imperial College London - Reaching Further
Providing practical hands-on STEM CPD for KS2 to KS5 teachers, in collaboration with Imperial College London.
Reaching Further
Reaching Further was a collaboration of Imperial College London, Exscitec, and a number of London ‘Hub’ schools. It engaged teachers by providing practical hands-on STEM CPD. The programme was split into four distinctive activities:
- KS2 science and maths workshops
- KS3 workshops and science practical resources (for NQTs and early career teachers teaching outside their specialised subject).
- KS4/5 subject specific science and maths activities (where subject specialist teachers worked collaboratively with current researchers)
- E-mentoring and online engagement
Nearly 400 teachers took part in 99 workshops. Evaluation suggests that teacher confidence improved across all programmes. The Hubs will continue to maintain links between teachers as new examination arrangements come into effect.
It has given me more confidence and detailed examples to discuss. [It] also made me more energised.
