What our members say about ASE… “I am in my 5th year of

teaching…I became a member of the ASE during my PGCE year after my University encouraged us to attend the Annual Conference.”

“I had no idea about the size and impact of the organisation, and looking back did not really appreciate how being a member of the ASE would impact upon my career.”

“The ASE is a community of like-minded enthusiasts for science and science teaching. It is a source of great ideas and expertise. It also allows teachers to expand their horizons beyond their daily work in the classroom to share ideas and enthusiasm with others “

“I had no idea the ASE had so much to offer, and the more you put in the more you get back.”
