Summer Schools
Applications to the Stimulating Physics Network Summer Schools are now closed. Please keep an eye out for applications for next year's Summer Schools. The dates of the summer schools in 2012 are 24th – 27th July for York Summer School and 23th - 26th August for Oxford Summer School.
The Stimulating Physics Network summer schools take place at the National Science Learning Centre in York and The Queen's College in Oxford. The summer schools are open to non-specialist teachers of physics from Stimulating Physics Network Partner schools receiving support from the Teaching and Learning Coaches. Each summer school consists of four days of intensive hands-on workshops led by the Teaching and Learning Coaches. The summer schools focus on developing subject knowledge and pedagogy with programmes suitable for both first timers and for previous attendees of summer schools.
The summer schools have been planned to help you
- feel more confident about teaching physics
- enjoy the subject more
- make physics more interesting for your students
- broaden your understanding of physics
Along with the programme of workshops, discussions and masterclasses, the summer schools include food, accommodation and entertainment.
For 2011, the York summer school took place from Tuesday 26th to Friday 29th July. Both a 'first year' and 'second year' summer school ran at York. The 'second year' summer school is for teachers who have previously attended a stimulating physics network summer school. The 'first year' summer school is open to teachers who have not attended a summer school.
The Oxford summer school took place from Thursday 25th August to Sunday 28th August. Only a 'first year' summer school will run at Oxford. The Oxford summer school is only for teachers who have not previously atttended a summer school.
The flyer for the first year summer school is available here. The flyer for the second year summer school is available here.
All costs of attending the summer school will be covered by the Stimulating Physics Network and we will be offering an award of £150 to all who attend.
