We have been advised of an exciting opportunity to undertake meaningful paid work, translating your research into high-quality teaching resources for school students and helping school pupils from under-represented backgrounds to realise their academic potential.
This is a programme collaboration between HeppSY and the AccessEd education charity. The ‘Research-Based Curriculum’ (RBC) programme supports local pupil attainment and university progression by providing classroom resources on cutting-edge research to local state schools through HeppSY.
Researchers will be trained to create their own subject coursebook for 11-14 year olds, allowing them to turn their research subject into a series of exciting short modules and activities.
Through training, researchers will:
• Develop valuable transferable skills
• Learn to communicate and pitch their research to younger audiences
• Support under-represented local students in their educational journey
• Earn a stipend of £400
Inviting Maths, English and Science related PhDs for this programme round.
2021 Programme Dates:
28 March: Application deadline
28 April: Training day
30 May: RBC coursebook final draft submission
