Science for All

Since 2010, Science for All has brought together science teachers and teaching assistants with expertise in special educational needs with curriculum developers from the Centre for Science Education (CSE) at Sheffield Hallam University (SHU). This collaboration has developed a range of resources to help support SEN students in their engagement and enjoyment of science. These diverse resources aim to make science learning more accessible and effective for students with complex needs and differing learning styles. Alongside this work with the four project schools, Science for All is also working in partnership with the Autism Centre at SHU, who have helped with grounding the project's work in theory and provided an analysis of how the project resources help to address barriers to learning and motivation in science. This project is funded by the Astra Zeneca Science Teaching Trust.
