We would like to thank our sponsors for their support of the ASE and the Annual Conference 2016:

Conference ThemesPathways through the programme

With over 400 sessions to pick from, the ASE Annual Conference has something for everyone. To help you find the ideas and resources that are perfect for you, we have created a few themes that highlight streams through the programme:

Your Professional Learning Journey A clear professional pathway for science teachers supports high-quality teaching and good outcomes for young people. Such a pathway places responsibility for progression with teachers by enabling them to benchmark their skills and expertise, identify what they need to progress, and to select appropriate professional development to take them forward in their professional journey. There is an expectation that schools will support teachers in their journeys and enable them to access appropriate professional development.

Take the opportunity to make the most of your time at ASE’s Annual Conference and progress on your own Professional Learning Journey.

While the whole conference programme is underpinned with the aim of helping you develop in your profession, there are specific sessions that focus on the formal support and recognition that is available as you progress on your own Professional Learning Journey. Join the ASE, National Science Learning Network, Wellcome Trust and other organisations to find out more. Highlights include:

• 'Professional learning journey' in which you can discover how science organisations are ready to support your professional learning journey as a science teacher at 11.30am on Friday.

• The Wellcome Trust Reception at 5pm on Friday which is open to all teachers to come along for a drink, nibble and an update on the resources available.

For 2016, we have created new themes that respond to opportunities and issues within current science teaching and learning:

New Curricula - focusing on resources, strategies and activities for the new primary/secondary National Curriculum

Practical Science - a hands-on approach to science in the classroom

Assessment - research, processes and resources for student assessment

Research into Practice - projects that have been developed to research and tackle challenges in science teaching and learning

Policy into Practice - translating ideas into classroom practice from careers to inclusion

Creative Technology - ideas and resources for utilising new technology in the science classroom

Frontier Science - these sessions bring together leading scientists from universities across the UK, including many from the Conference host, The University of Birmingham. The programme offers an exciting range of cutting-edge research giving you the chance to enhance your subject knowledge and refresh your passion for science. The areas covered by the Frontier Science lectures include:

• Treating and tackling disease.• From the very big to the very small (and

everything in between!): From Particle Physics to Cosmology.

• Engineering the micro-world: Quantum Technologies.

• Human interactions and our natural environment

• Understanding and enhancing sporting prowess.

Space - Tim Peake launches on Mission Principia in November 2015, this offers an invaluable opportunity to engage and inspire students with science. To help you make the most of this unique event, the ASE has collated a wide range of sessions with ideas, resources and activities that bring Space into schools. The sessions include: a keynote from Jeremy Curtis, Head of Education and Skills at the UK Space Agency, with an overview of the education activities being created around Mission Principia; a hands-on session from the European Space Agency with 'Bring ExoMars to your classroom with Lego'; a physical approach to Space travel with 'Space to Earth Challenge' which uses Tim Peake's fitness programme as a starting point for teaching physics, maths, technology and biology.

We would like to thank our sponsors for their support of the ASE and the Annual Conference 2016:

Also look out for sessions within special interests covering subjects and target age groups:

Biology Education Research Group (BERG) - THURSDAYReturning for its third year, BERG brings together leading science education academics to present ideas to support primary and secondary biology teaching from the environment to evolution.

Biology in the Real World - FRIDAYThis strand of practical workshops explores different aspects of the biology secondary curriculum in real-life contexts.

Earth Science - WEDNESDAY TO SATURDAYOne of the Earth Theme highlights this year will be the all-singing, all-dancing ‘Amazing planet - action-packed classroom science’ presentation – which should be amazing, providing you don’t expect the presenters to sing and dance! "Best CPD so far", commented one of the audience at the last ASE Annual Conference. Join the Earth Science Education Unit (ESEU) and the Earth Science Teaching Alliance (ESTA) for this interactive presentation of lots of Earthlearningidea activities at 11.30am on Thursday. The Earth Science distinguished speaker for 2016 is Prof Iain Stewart, the well-known and charismatic TV presenter at 4pm on Thursday. On Friday, the Earth Science workshops are focused on the new curriculum.

Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) / Global Issues -To create this theme, ASE has linked with the key organisations involved in the Global/Sustainable learning school communities’ agenda to offer a series of sessions that explore this powerful topic. To quote from a recent ASE School Science Review issue: "(a ‘sustainable schools approach’) aims for learners to be able to think critically, analyse alternatives, negotiate decisions and feel empowered to take responsibility. This requires openness to any idea learners will come up with, including consideration of the basis and evidence to build on ideas and action. This is surely also at the heart of our core work as science educators." The themed sessions include: 13 year old Mya-Rose Craig talking about ' Educating Our Future Environmentalists'; the Eden Project exploring 'Darwin's Doodles: Primary Science in a Tropical Rainforest'; and Frankie McKeon from Leicester University using everyday objects to encourage students to consider implications of their manufacture. Cathryn Gathercole, Director of Tide ~ Global Learning will be giving the theme's keynote talk.
