RSC Chemistry for Non Specialists Course for KS4 2008
Currently teaching chemistry in a secondary school but have a qualification in a different subject? Then this course is for you!
This affordable, high quality training programme is designed to provide teachers with the confidence, flair and enthusiasm to teach chemistry at KS3 or KS4. It is specifically aimed at those who are not chemistry specialists.
The four-day courses comprise a two-day residential and two one-day follow-up events at approximately one-term intervals. They will cover key chemistry concepts and provide hands-on experience of both student practical work and teacher demonstrations. Two separate courses are on offer nationally - one for KS3 and one for KS4.

Science Learning Centre in the South West (SLC-SW)
Science Learning Centres are part of a new initiative set up by a £51m investment from the Department for Education and Skills and the Wellcome Trust. The network of Science Learning Centres is made up of nine Regional Centres across England and one National Centre, based at the University of York. The National Centre, which opened in autumn 2005, offers residential courses to teachers from across the UK in a purpose built Centre which includes hotel facilities.
The Centre delivers across the region using a new state-of-the-art education suite and a teacher drop in centre at At-Bristol, and also makes use of the world class science facilities at the Universities of Bristol and Plymouth and other partner sites. Mobile resources are also available.
SLC-SW is working closely with teachers, the centre's advisory group, the ASE, LEA's, Universities, industry and CPD providers across the region to develop the programme offered.
