Group Mission: Leading Professional Development in Science Education

ASE Teacher Developers' Group is a community within the ASE, specifically for all those who support and develop teachers throughout their professional journey, from pre service training onwards. Membership of the group is open to all those involved in planning and delivering teacher education and CPD. The group’s activities support practitioners whose roles include:

· pre- and in-service teacher education;

· the design, co-ordination and facilitation of professional development;

· mentoring and coaching, whether in school, school groups or external;

· subject and departmental leadership.

Being part of the ASE Teacher Developers' community offers the opportunity for teacher developers to enhance their own expertise, knowledge and skills, through collaborating with a wide range of others fulfilling similar roles across the education landscape.

ASE's Teacher Developers' Group sits on the cutting edge of research, policy and practice within science education. In order to further our mission, we need people like you who have the drive and determination to improve current practice and to shape the future of scienc educators everywhere. To keep up-to-date with the group, update your membership profile to identify your interest.
