Start Guide for Teachers

Where to Begin!

 The aim of the Faulkes Telescope Project is to get students and teachers participating in research-based science education and therefore improving their motivation to push the barriers of science education further.

 

Research-Based Learning

Some Approaches to Research-Based Learning

Hands Writing

On this page we outline some possible approaches to research-based learning. Some of them are student led, whilst others are teacher guided.

Info. for Students

Use a Robotic Telescope on the Other Side of the Planet!

The Faulkes Telescope Project is pleased to announce that we now allow students to register to use our facilities as part of the Faulkes Telescope Student Academy. Currently we are accepting nominations from teachers for members of the Academy or students are invited to join on the basis of work done with the Faulkes Telescope Team. Students in years 10, 11 and sixth form are currently eligible for membership.

 

Info. for Teachers

Registering as a Teacher

Following the move to provide free of charge access to our facilities, the FT Project adopted a policy of registering teachers, not schools, with the project.  This allows us to provide you with personalised training and support that is tailored to the age range of students you teach, the topics you teach. We can also take in to account your own personal background in science and teaching as part of putting together a package of training for you.
