Dear {contact.first_name}

I'm really excited by our big news this week - we're sending out posters promoting the importance of good practical science education to every school in England and making them available at our events across the UK and internationally. This kind of advocacy is really important to us as an organisation. Please share the news with your colleagues and help us make as much noise as we can…
Hannah Russell, Chief Executive Officer

WE'RE SENDING OUT 5,000 POSTERS TO MAKE GOOD PRACTICAL SCIENCE HAPPEN

Here at the Association for Science Education we are proud of our work to support the landmark Good Practical Science report, working with partners across the science education community to help Make It Happen.

To that end we are delighted to be able to announce that we have produced a poster designed to help teachers and technicians understand the importance and potential impact of a properly planned practical science policy.

We want this message to reach as wide an audience as possible so, thanks to the generous support of the Gatsby Charitable Foundation, this week we will be sending two copies of the poster to every secondary school in England.

The school benefitted as a whole during our March OFSTED inspection where the outstanding grade was awarded and the high quality of practical work in science was recognised by the inspectors and mentioned in their report.
(Pete Heffernan, Head of Science,
Elthorne Park High School)

To encourage engagement with the poster, we’re inviting schools to post a picture on Twitter of the poster in situ in their science area – using the hashtag #Goodpracsci – for the chance to win delegate passes for all members of the science team to attend a day at the ASE’s Annual Conference (University of Reading 8-11 January 2020) - Europe’s largest science education conference.

So look out for the posters (addressed to your school’s head of science and head technician) from Monday, December 9, head to your next ASE Teachmeet or ASE conference - and help us make good practical science happen.
