Stimulating Physics Network
The Institute of Physics and the Science Learning Centres have formed a partnership to run a support network for teachers and pupils of physics in England.
This is known as the Stimulating Physics Network.
The project is funded by the Department for Education until March 2014.
The aim of the Stimulating Physics Network is to provide an inspiring, coherent and sustainable programme of lessons, activities and continuing professional development (CPD) to achieve a step change in the teaching of physics in England.
The 60 strong network consists of 37 Physics Network Coordinators and 23 Teaching and Learning Coaches – all knowledgeable, experienced and enthusiastic specialists who are supported by the IOP’s Education Department.
Physics Network Co-ordinators offer support to all secondary schools that include:
| Teacher support | Pupil support | |
| All schools |
|
|
Approximately 300 selected schools (Stimulating Physics Network schools) are supported by the Teaching and Learning Coaches in a more intensive relationship.
