The Royal Society of New Zealand and CORE Education are supporting teachers to become Science curriculum leaders in the primary sector. The fellowship involves teachers attending a six-month placement at a relevant organisation to develop an understanding of how Science is applied outside of the school. The fellows will also attend workshops to receive curriculum and leadership support enabling them to develop and improve Science delivery in their schools. In the year following the placement CORE Education will continue to support the fellows as they implement the lessons learned during the fellowship and present their findings at conferences.
Fellows are involved in a diverse range of projects with host organisations varying from sizemological investigations, through to marine biology, breeding kiwis and establishing predator free conservation areas.
