Steve Marshall (stevethedoc@hotmail.

Borough of Barnet, U.K.
Presider: Annette Smith, CEO, The
Association for Science Education,
Hatfield, Herts, U.K.
This year much like in the U.S.,
England will see further developments
toward a new national science curriculum. As these
consultations take place, it seems timely to reflect upon
some of the support that is available to teachers and schools.
Join Steve Marshall, primary science advisor in London,
as he shares strategies and resources currently available
in the U.K., including publications and approaches for
science inquiry, techniques for assessment for learning,
whole-school development initiatives such as the Primary
Science Quality Mark, and nationally provided materials
such as “In the Zone” school kits linking science to the 2012
Olympic and Paralympic games.
Steve Marshall is actively involved in the Primary Science Quality
Mark, an innovative award program aimed at improving the quality
of science teaching and learning in U.K. primary schools. He began
his career as a teacher working with K–6. With more than 30 years
of experience in teaching and advising in the area of primary science,
Steve focuses very heavily on ensuring that children see that science is
fun, and that they start to develop their ability to inquire in a logical
manner. In addition, he regularly contributes to local and national
professional development sessions, often with novel and innovative
approaches and ideas.
NSTA is grateful to The Association for Science Education
for sponsoring this session.
