Science and geography teachers’ consultation event

We are inviting Science and Geography teachers to engage with climate change research!

The Centre for Curriculum, Pedagogy and Curriculum at the University of Leeds is embarking on a new collaborative research project which focuses on engaging teachers in climate change education for curriculum development. This initiative aims to integrate scientific evidence from climate research into science and geography teaching materials for secondary schools. We plan to collaborate with climate scientists and schoolteachers in participatory, co-production of teaching materials and aim to research this process.

If you are a Science or Geography teacher at Key Stage 3, we invite you to participate in this curriculum development project. You will play a key role as an active curriculum developer, engaging with the latest state-of-the-art climate change research. Utilising your teaching knowledge and experience with the National Curriculum, you will help develop climate change teaching materials for science and geography.

Throughout this participatory, co-production research process, you will have the opportunity to gain first-hand insights and access the latest climate evidence from climate scientists at the University of Leeds. We view this research project as a dual opportunity, allowing you not only to engage deeply with cutting-edge climate research but also to significantly enrich your professional development.

If you are interested, please complete the expression of interest form.

We would then like to invite you to a consultation meeting, with the details as follows:
