Networks

TSSP is supporting a second series of 40 local Triple Science Networks running from July 2008 to March 2009. The networks provide a national matrix of coverage for practitioners who are either delivering or interested in delivering the Triple Science GCSEs in Physics, Chemistry and Biology.

The networks have been funded to carry out development projects which relate to one of the themes of the Triple Science Support Programme:

• Increasing subject specific expertise
• Enabling curriculum development and improved modelling
• Raising attainment strategies
• Facilitating collaborative approaches to delivery
• E-learning and Triple Science (from mid-September 2008).

The TS networks provide a forum for the dissemination of good practice – both locally and nationally. Network members are able to exchange ideas and share practice with other teachers via the LSN Triple Science community.

TS network resources and case studies from 2007/8 series of TS networks

The 2007/8 networks have produced a large range of resources, schemes of work, lesson plans and other CPD activities, all available for download from LSN Triple Science community. The case studies highlight the wide range of models of successful TS networks providing an insight into membership, aims, outcomes and benefits of the network.

• Local authority led networks - Accrington schools, South Somerset, South Essex, Westcliffe
• EBP led network NYBEP – North and North yorkshire
• Network involving SSAT WM Painsley
• STEMNET led network STEMNET North East
• Networks involving Higher Education Bristol Chem labs, Cumbria
• Network involving independent sector Surrey Physics
