About

The Scottish Earth Science Education Forum is an educational organisation. We combine our passion for Earth Science with our belief that every young person deserves to have a positive learning experience and an opportunity to reach their full potential during their time in school.

We use ‘Our Planet’ as a context to deliver the most engaging and inspiring professional development courses for primary and secondary teachers and their pupils. We sustain our courses through the continual development of curriculum linked classroom resources in science, social subjects, literacy, numeracy, citizenship, sustainability, health and well being, expressive arts and ICT.
