This webinar shared best practice insights from CST, the Academy’s national schools programme, which ran from 2011 to 2023. During this time, the programme established 50 regional school networks, supported 7,000 schools, and provided over one million engineering related interactions and experiences to students across the UK.

This event marked the launch of the best practice guide, Using STEM Teacher Networks in Teacher Professional Development, produced in collaboration with Dr. Clare Gartland and Dr. Tuba Gokpinar from the Centre for Excellence in Learning and Teaching at the University of Suffolk.
The webinar demonstrated how to develop STEM teacher networks for teacher professional development and highlighted the crucial role of long-term partnerships between schools, industry, education partners, and further and higher education institutions. These collaborations create inclusive opportunities for students, particularly in underrepresented areas.
Discover how these partnerships enhance teacher development, foster innovative teaching practices, and equip students with the skills needed for future careers in engineering.
