Solar for Schools Education - Developmenteducation

CPD Sessions

We offer professional development training on solar, energy and sustainability, for making real and lasting change.

Designed by experts

Sessions are designed by our Head of Education, Wendy Litherland, who has 25 years Science teaching experience, with 18 of those spent as an award-winning Director of Sustainability, and later years in senior leadership. She is supported by a team of people from an education and sustainability background.

Lead to tangible outcomes

We won't waste your time with useless material or unattainable outcomes. As teachers ourselves, we understand the challenges involved in teaching as well as your drive as educators who want to make a difference.

Customised to the needs of your school

Our sessions are designed to help you explore and make use of what you already know and have access to as a teacher, and what is right for your school and your students, rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.

How to write a Climate Action Plan

Involve the whole school community, based on your school's personal needs. We can deliver this as a CPD to initiate sustainability in school, embed what you've got or simply work with other providers who offer free services.

Embedding your solar project across your curriculum

From data to videos, lesson ideas to actual kit, all resources can be embedded in different subjects and stages of the curriculum. We're here to guide the novice and the expert.
