Schools Exhibition
Saturday January 11, 2025 11:15 - 13:15 GMT
The ASE Schools’ Exhibition has become one of the most popular elements of the ASE Annual Conference every January. Schools from all sectors of education are invited to present a science project happening in their classrooms or science/STEM clubs. One teacher from each school is invited to provide a display, which can include artefacts and/or posters illustrating their school project, and is invited to talk about their project. Up to 2 pupils can accompany their teacher to help demonstrate their activities and talk about their school project.

Come along to the Schools' Exhibition to chat with the project leaders and educators, and find out more what has been going on in other schools and STEM clubs. Our exhibitors for 2025 include:

Science Education Beyond the Classroom
Saturday January 11, 2025 12:15 - 13:05 GMT
Have you recently left the classroom, or perhaps considering alternative career paths in science education? Maybe you are considering part time with a related role elsewhere. There is an increasing rise in the ‘portfolio’ career for educators. Come along to this discussion to consider the risks, opportunities, pros and cons of diversifying beyond the classroom. If you have already developed this sort of career come along and share your experiences.

Maths skills of trainee science teachers: help us develop an audit tool!
Saturday January 11, 2025 15:30 - 16:20 GMT
Our previous survey of Science Initial Teacher Training providers and their trainees in England, conducted during 2023 showed that there is a systemic lack of focus on mathematical skills in science Initial Teacher Training.  As a result of this work, the authors are developing a freely available targeted maths resource to support pre-service science teachers during their training year.  

During this structured workshop, the authors will share the audit being developed, the results of initial testing and seek your input to the signposting of external resources which will support trainee teachers to further develop their science specific maths skills.

Help us to select and match the best resources to each maths skill.

This session relates to the books sold by ASE/Millgate titled the Language of Maths in Science and Grappling with Graphs.
