Science Centres of Innovation and Professional Practice (SCIPPS)

Six new centres have been set up to deliver the professional development you need. The Science Centres of Innovation and Professional Practice (SCIPPS) are based in a cluster of schools, both primary and secondary. Each SCIPPS works with a partner university to deliver the professional development needs of teachers within each cluster. The SCIPPS will also work with other clusters, sharing ideas, programs and expertise.

SCIPPs bring together teachers, students, universities, research bodies, Government departments and science-based industries and employers. They draw on these different fields of expertise to design and deliver professional development that's innovative and right on target.
