CPD Series: Teaching hands-on Primary STEM

CPD workshops that cultivate curiosity! The SFI Discover Primary Science and Maths programme (DPSM) and the European Space Education Resource Office (ESERO Ireland) are now offering places to individual teachers wishing to build their confidence in teaching STEM subjects.

• FREE workshops delivered by STEM education experts to build your knowledge and confidence in STEM teaching.
• Use a practical, hands-on approach which links directly to the SESE curriculum.
• Tools that you can use in the classroom or when teaching STEM online.
• Each workshop is 2 x 1hr Zoom sessions spread over two weeks.

During the workshops you will be introduced to the DPSM/ESERO Framework for Enquiry and new DPSM activities which enable you to harness students’ curiosity to lead your STEM lessons.

This supports the enhancing of teacher capacity as outlined in Pillar 2 of the STEM Education Policy Statement.

Topic: Journey Into Space 

Take a trip into Space whilst using STEM all the way. This workshop looks at how to use a narrative to include multiple aspects of science, technology, engineering, and maths curricula during your lessons. This not only allows you to explore inquiry-based learning but also encourages you to teach in a way that enables students to show their strengths, innovation, and ingenuity.
