Upstream Battle Professional Learning Programme
A Professional Learning Programme on the journey from Source to Sea
We're offering a free Professional Learning Programme designed to provide the tools and resources for educators to use source to sea litter as a context for nurturing STEM learning.
The programme will be delivered through a blended learning model combining face to face sessions with online learning. It will build enquiry-based learning skills through self-led study activities. Participation in the course provides an opportunity to collaborate across schools, communities and partners in the STEM family to learn and share best practice.
At this time, this Professional Learning Programme is available to schools within the West Partnership only.
Time commitment:
Through a series of twilight sessions, each participant will receive 12 hours of online learning and take part in two networking events. Specific dates will be provided in the new 2022/2023 term, but the outline is as follows:
- Sessions start week commencing 19th September 2022
- Sessions conclude w/c 12th December 2022
- Second networking event February 2023.
Topics:
The course has been developed to create links to several wider objectives, including delivering on each pupil’s entitlement to Learning for Sustainability, and:
- Citizen Science
- the Sustainable Development Goals
- Circular Economy
- Climate Change
The programme will provide strong correlation to other education elements of Upstream Battle, including the STEM the Flow Engineering Challenge, available to secondary schools within the West Partnership.
