"You don't need to teach a child curiosity. Curiosity is innate. You just have to be careful not to squash it. This is the challenge for the teacher — to foster and guide that curiosity."
Implementing the new science curriculum will no doubt present every school with its own set of challenges. Attending the Sir Paul Callaghan Science Academy will be a big step toward managing the transition as well as enhancing your connectedness with science.
The Sir Paul Callaghan Science Academy runs intensive, four day professional development programmes that aim to build excellence in the teaching of science.
Our vision is to create primary and intermediate teachers who celebrate science and inspire their students to explore and engage with the world through science.
