Speaking at Association of Science (ASE) Educators Conference 2017
Today was a really interesting day, as I did a one hour talk at the Association of Science Educations (ASE) Conference 2017 at Reading University. The ASE is a membership organisation for Science teachers and I spoke to those teaching pupils aged 11-18 years.
It was interesting to visit Reading University and look around as well as Reading, I have visited Birmingham, Manchester and Cambridge.
My talk was about how they were a key part in the programme to get more BAME people into nature, by them concentrating on teaching secondary age teenagers about nature, conservation and environmental issues as well as trying to get them interested in and connecting with nature. I focused on the need to educate pupils about studying sciences, ensuring that they and their parents understand the professions that they can go into with say a biology degree, such as conservation or environmental careers.
I talked about the research, Camp Avalon, the Race Equality in Nature Conference and Black2Nature.
These are my slides and notes from my talk and it would be great if you could spread it to as many people especially teachers to read possible:
