Chartered Science Teacher (CSciTeach)

CSciTeach

Chartered Science Teacher (CSciTeach) is a chartered mark recognising excellence in science teaching and learning. Gaining CSciTeach demonstrates your commitment to your profession and can help you to advance your career.

Maintaining a CPD log for the CSciTeach register makes the reflection explicit and captures your thinking at regular intervals to make you see where your successes are, and where you need support to develop further.
