Virtual Communities
Science virtual communities
Join our free online sessions and enhance your teaching. Meet with other science teachers, exchange ideas and share best practice.
Virtual community events
Our virtual community events are run by AQA science specialists. The aim of these sessions is to improve your understanding of the specification and support your teaching. Each term, you will get to chat to teachers in your subject area and discuss the things that are really important to you.
How our virtual communities can help you
In the video below, Ed Walsh, an Advocate and AQA CPD trainer, explains how our virtual communities can help you and your department.
