Course OverviewThe Polymer Study Tours are FREE four day residential courses for secondary teachers of science and design technology designed to improve your knowledge and understanding of the aspects of the curriculum related to polymers. They bring together teachers from both disciplines in an informal environment to exchenge views on the teaching of this cross curricular subject. Who funds the courses?The Polymer Study Tours were initiated by the Worshipful Company of Horners in 1987 and they are still the major sponsors. PD recognitionThe Tours have been approved for Professional Development by the Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining and teachers who complete the course will receive a certificate of attendance for their portfolio. |
More InformationThe Courses are closely related to the science and design technology curriculum and you can find out exactly how the various activities fit in by visiting : www.polymer-teaching-resources.com http://www.iom3.org/marketplace The Worshipful Company of Horners Educational Trust initiated this teacher education programme in 1987 and they still provide most of the sponsorship funding. The course costs about £900 per teacher and we ask each teacher’s school to contribute just £150 to cover the administration costs, the Homers Educational Trust and generous sponsorship by companies and organisations involved in supporting education provide the rest. To date more than about 2800 teachers have benefited from the scheme, and more importantly so have the countless young people they have taught. The programme is residential with a duration of 3½ days, run at three regional UK Centres - Napier University in Edinburgh, London Metropolitan University, and the University of Manchester. To accommodate teachers’ schedules as conveniently as possible, Polymer Study Tours take place at the end of the summer term, and on a different week for all three venues. The course outline is similar at all three residential centres, with differences to suit the local plastics factories that are to be visited and the facilities of the sponsoring Universities.
