Last week St Stephen’s School hosted a workshop for the ASELL Project (Advancing Science and Engineering through Laboratory Learning) which is part of a collaboration between several universities across Australia, including Curtin University in Perth. The project aims to enhance teaching in the laboratory by carrying out and evaluating experiments that have been devised by host school teachers.

The ASELL workshops are aimed at increasing teacher confidence and reflection when planning and presenting experiments/investigations to students.

Our Science staff and some students were taken through a process of reflection and improvement using student feedback. It was an excellent opportunity for staff to gain further skills and feedback from students and leading academics with an aim for continual improvement in the Science teaching program.
