WP3 group discussion

Southampton Education School is part of the group of partners focusing on lower secondary science education. During this consortium meeting, we had the chance to share our professional development programmes and discuss the outcomes of our pilot implementations. We have also discussed the challenges we have phased during this year and identified possible solutions as we now prepare for the first round of implementation during 2015-16.
