Join us for an inspiring (free) in-person session with Stuart Farmer, Institute of Physics (IOP), and Fhiona Mackay, Scotland’s National Centre for Languages/Confucius Institute for Scotland’s Schools, to hear about the opportunities, benefits and issues around subject-specific professional learning (SSPL) and explore how they might be improved across the curriculum. Stuart and Fhiona will discuss key points from the Subjects Matter report, which looks at subject-specific continuing professional development (CPD) for teachers. The report is based on the IOP’s collaboration with over 50 educational organisations, subject-specific societies and individual specialists, who drew on a wide range of evidence from England, Scotland and Wales.
