STEM CPD session for teachers in Solihull

We are holding a free primary STEM CPD session for teachers in Solihull on Thursday 12 March, 4:45-6:00pm at Solihull Civic Suite.

This session delivered by NFU Mutual will present STEM learning within the context of engaging, real life problems to give children a sense of the purpose and direction of their learning, consequently improving their motivation and perseverance when tackling tricky topics. As former primary school teachers, NFU Mutual understand the challenges faced by the profession and have designed their resources with three main goals in mind: to save teachers time and reduce workload; to spark learners’ passion and enthusiasm for STEM subjects and to convey important messages about food and nutrition through a cross-curricular, project-based approach.

In this exciting practical session, they’ll be throwing elements of Ready Steady Cook, The Apprentice and Countryfile into a blender and producing some brilliant learning outcomes. Expect a session of ideas for exciting practical activities and projects and a free scheme of teaching and learning resources that will allow you to infuse your wider curriculum with engaging STEM learning opportunities (see attached Stemterprise training flyer).

This is aimed at science or maths lead/STEM lead.  Please email hcolson@solihull.gov.uk to confirm your attendance for the session.
