Connecting Teachers
 The Connecting Teachers project, which is generously supported
by BG Group, aims to provide local support for the teachers of STEM subject so they can develop the knowledge and confidence to:
-
illustrate the role of engineering in society to young people;
-
explain how engineers shape our world and improve our lives;
-
highlight how STEM learning at school is applied in the real world;
-
enrich the STEM curriculum;
-
engage a greater number and wider spectrum of students in STEM.
Central to this project is a national network of Teacher Coordinators,
employed as consultants by the Royal Academy of Engineering, who provide STEM teachers in
their local schools with free training, ideas and resources to help them enhance STEM learning.
There are currently 24 Teacher Coordinators working across the UK, including
Scotland, Northern Ireland, Wales and the nine English regions. These Teacher Coordinators are
using their local knowledge to build a network of schools for whom they organise, coordinate and
lead termly twilight CPD events. They also provide networking opportunities and help to establish
links across schools and STEM departments so that expertise and good practice can be shared by
teachers with different specialisms.
All of the Academy’s Teacher Coordinators are practising teachers or
have extensive teaching experience and all the STEM subjects are represented within the team, including
science, mathematics, D&T, ICT and computing. They run their networks in their own time and
have an excellent understanding of the needs of the teachers of STEM subjects and the challenges
they face.
Please contact Dominic Nolan if you are a STEM teacher based in a school
and wish to know more about the Connecting Teachers project or you want to get in touch with your nearest Teacher Coordinator. See below for the Teacher Coordinators’ locations.
