Inclusion in Science

What is the Inclusion in Science programme?

 

Inclusion in Science is an online CPD programme:

  • For teachers who recognise inclusion is key to addressing gaps in engagement and attainment they see for different groups of students.
  • For teachers who want to reflect and make changes so every student feels that science could be for them.
  • Is fully-funded by the DfE for teachers of KS 3/4/5 in state-funded schools in England.
