Empowering Science Education
teachers & scientists working together to enhance school science
Join us in building strong partnerships that empower teachers with the latest scientific knowledge and resources, ensuring that students continue to view science as an engaging and practical subject.
The Teacher Scientist Network (TSN) is a Norfolk-based science education charity that has for 30 years provided links to ‘real science’ and supported science teachers in a truly bottom-up way. We continue to do this from our home at the John Innes Centre providing
- Access to science resources via our Kit Club
- CPD opportunities to boost your subject knowledge
- A sense of community and opportunities for Networking with colleagues
- Opportunities to support scientists wishing to engage more schools, providing training and working collaboratively on the development of new resources for schools
