About RDS STEM Learning

RDS STEM Learning is an innovative and interactive professional development programme aimed at developing participants’ pedagogical and conceptual knowledge of science. The programme places a strong emphasis on inquiry-based approaches to teaching and learning science at primary school level. The programme also aims to increase teachers’ confidence in teaching science and bring together a professional learning community.

 

RDS STEM Learning was developed and piloted from 2012 – 2014 by the RDS, St Patrick’s College of Education and CASTeL, SPD/DCU. Following a successful external evaluation of the project, it is now being scaled-up in partnership with SFI Discover. Through this partnership the RDS and the SFI Discover, Discover Primary Science & Maths Programme (DPSM)/ESERO CPD programme, offer a range of continuous professional development opportunities in science and maths education to primary school teachers.
