ASE Annual Conference 2022

Supporting excellence in science teaching and learning is a vital and commonly shared vision for the Association for Science Education (ASE) and the Royal Society of Chemistry. That’s why we are delighted to be taking part in the ASE Annual Conference in January and February 2022.

Early career teacher event

Date TBC

The RSC team will be part of a special ECT event at the conference. We’ll be there to answer any questions you may have and to help you find teaching resources on the Education website, plus we’ll have some useful materials to share with you.

We’ll also be letting you know about our latest events, upcoming competitions and new resources to use in class.

Our sessions

We’ll be holding several sessions throughout this year’s conference. Dates and times for all sessions will be announced shortly.

Elevating Chemistry: helping young scientists thrive in the post-lockdown classroom

with Katayune Presland

During 2021, the RSC supported 10 schools in running projects. We will share reflections from the project, and discover ways to implement ideas from this project in your own school’s context.

Making the most of RSC practical videos for 14–16 and 16–18

with Kirsty Patterson

An interactive session demonstrating the wrap-around resources available to support teaching of common and core chemistry practicals from the RSC. 

Approaches and lessons learnt from engaging primary schools with COP26 and sustainability

with Stephen Hendry

In this session we’ll be talking about how we developed our new sustainability teaching resources and engaged schools in Scotland with COP26. There’ll be a chance to try out some simple experiments and discuss methods of introducing young learners to this important topic.

Sustainability in the chemistry classroom

with Izzi Monk and Stephen Hendry

Learn about the RSC’s work on sustainability in the chemistry classroom and share your experiences and ideas. This interactive session we will highlight resources to support your teaching, offer time to reflect on successful teaching practice and give the opportunity to hear about our forthcoming plans.
