Applied Science Strategies for Educators - Monday 6 July 2026
Our Applied Science Strategies for Educators continuing professional development (CPD) course is aimed at educators in schools and colleges, delivering science and technical subjects to 16+ year old students, who are eager to enhance their practical teaching skills.
You will learn how to:
- develop high-impact practical science lessons, whether a hands-on dissection or lab-based investigation
- embed industry applications into science teaching, making practical lessons relevant to careers in science, agriculture and animal care
- create an inclusive science education teaching environment, including strategies to support diverse learners, neurodivergent students, and underrepresented groups in science education
These learning outcomes align with key gaps frequently identified in FE College Quality Improvement Plans (QIPs), Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), and Ofsted reports.
We adopt a blended learning approach, combining lecture-delivered theory and demonstrations by course leaders, with supervised, practical activities, to promote understanding of and engagement with course content amongst delegates. Course sessions are delivered by members of our academic teaching and research staff and our professional services team, including members of staff from our Laboratories and Research Services and Teaching & Learning Support teams.
This is a paid CPD course. On completion, you will receive a CPD Certificate of Completion endorsed by the RAU.
