Rob Butler shares his highlights from the Association for Science Education annual conference at the University of Birmingham

On the train to Birmingham I reflected on what I hoped to achieve from this year’s ASE conference. I wanted to see how the new GCSE is shaping up. I expected to find some new ideas to engage my learners. I hoped to discover some strategies that will help with delivery and assessment across all Key Stages. And I wanted to regain some of my enthusiasm for teaching science.
