Curriculum Projects
Best Evidence Science Teaching
Best Evidence Science Teaching (BEST) are resources for teachers of secondary science (ages 11-16). The Salters’ Institute is proud to have supported the development of BEST since 2016. The resources are freely available for any educator to use.
These resources draw on the best available research evidence on teaching and learning in school science, and provide teachers with a practical means of using research evidence in their teaching. BEST incorporates research on promoting effective learning in science, on assessment, on practical work, on teaching difficult ideas in science, and on engaging students with the science they are studying.
Salters’ A Level Curricula
Central to the Salters’ courses is the philosophy that science takes place in the world around us. This is a context-led programme that was first examined in 1991.
Since the 1990s, the Salters’ Institute has developed context-led A Level courses across Chemistry, Biology and Physics. Click the links below to learn more about these courses and how you can teach them in your school:
We celebrate the students who achieve the top marks in these courses each year with our A Level Awards.
