Raising attainment in physics! NS706
A two day, face to face course for teachers incorporating practical work, IOP, university and student input.
Summary
The Raising Attainment in Physics course aims to offer opportunities that will support the delivery of BGE, National 4/5, Higher and Advanced Higher Physics. In laboratory sessions, participants will have hands-on experience of new practical work. Guest input will include the IoP, university lecturers and university students.
To apply for this course please contact SSERC directly (enquiries@sserc.scot) who will forward you the necessary information. Shortly after the published closing date for applications the administration team at SSERC will send to successful applicants:confirmation of an offer of a place on the course together with details on enrolment proceduresinformation on ENTHUSE funding and how to apply for such a subsidya set of terms and conditions which you must meet in order to qualify for an ENTHUSE subsidy
If you are a supply teacher you may still qualify for an ENTHUSE subsidy – please contact SSERC to establish your eligibility.
