This course is designed for teachers and school leaders who want to build confidence in teaching STEM, even if it's an area that feels unfamiliar. With a strong focus on simple strategies, hands-on learning, and real-life classroom examples, it removes the fear factor and shows how STEM can be both achievable and exciting across all class levels.
Participants will:
- Learn to break STEM down into manageable skills, like predicting, observing, recording and communicating.
- Explore how to use local environments, simple experiments, and everyday resources for scientific enquiry.
- Discover digital tools, online manipulatives and visual supports that bring Maths and Science to life—even for beginners.
- Make clear connections between language, SESE, and STEM, creating rich, integrated learning experiences.
- Use the SSE process to plan, track and reflect on whole-school STEM development.
- Walk away with a 4-step action plan, tailored to their own school context, to build meaningful and sustainable STEM learning.
With the new specification for the STEM curriculum due to be published in the next year, this course will give participants to an opportunity to engage with the area of STEM in advance of the roll-out.
Whether you’re new to STEM or looking to bring it to the next level, this course will give you the tools, structure, and confidence to make it happen—one simple step at a time.
