The 'Plates for Education - UK' project aims to inspire secondary Physics teachers and their pupils by providing them with a genuine piece of research equipment (an optical-fibre 'plug plate' from the Sloan Telescope in New Mexico) for them to work with, and resources for them to investigate cutting-edge astronomical survey data. By providing teachers with career-long professional learning sessions (CLPL in Scotland, better known as continuing professional development, CPD, in England and Wales), the project aims to engage at least 200 teachers of Physics and through them at least 6,000 secondary school pupils, to: - Increase teachers' subject-specific confidence - Enable teachers to bring more real-world science research into the classroom - Improve the self-efficacy of teachers of Physics, their sense of identity as physicists, and their well-being, thus contributing to an improved rate of staff-retention in this career - Engage secondary pupils with a unique research artefact and create a sense of ownership over their school's "patch of sky" - Increase pupils' awareness of research science and improve their attitudes towards science Our target audience is composed of secondary school teachers of Physics (S1-S6 in Scotland, Year 7-13 in England) and their pupils. Secondary Physics teachers tend to teach at different levels throughout their career, and the resources are not aimed at a specific curriculum level. Rather, they aim to contextualise curriculum items (such as blackbody radiation law, inverse-square law, plotting and graphing, redshift, Hubble law, storytelling, and more) with real research data and a scientific apparatus that is unique to each school. Once a teacher is comfortable with the plate and the resources, it is hoped the resources will become imbedded in their practice, and resorted to multiple times throughout the teacher's career. Our preliminary evaluation suggests that is the intention of teachers too - e.g. one teacher in one of our 2019 evaluations stated "Overall a fantastic event which has energised me to include this in as many stages of L&T as possible". Recruitment of teachers and schools will prioritise socioeconomically deprived areas as well as geographically remote areas, both of which are underrepresented in science. The project aims for the teachers to embed the methods and ideas of this work into their practice, so that the legacy of the project beyond the initial audience of pupils will include: - Teachers trained, motivated and confident to bring research science into the classroom throughout their career - Plates in secondary school Physics departments, being regularly used for classroom learning - Resources shared publicly for any Physics teachers to use.

“教育板块-英国”项目旨在通过为中学物理教师及其学生提供一台真正的研究设备（来自新墨西哥州斯隆望远镜的光纤“插板"）供他们使用，并为他们提供资源来调查尖端的天文调查数据，从而激励他们。通过为教师提供终身专业学习课程（苏格兰的CLPL，在英格兰和威尔士被称为持续专业发展，CPD），该项目旨在吸引至少200名物理教师，并通过他们吸引至少6，000名中学生，以：- 增加教师对特定学科的信心-使教师能够将更多真实世界的科学研究带入课堂-提高物理教师的自我效能，他们作为物理学家的认同感，以及他们的幸福感，从而有助于提高这一职业的员工保留率-让中学生参与独特的研究人工制品，并对他们学校的“天空”产生主人翁感-提高学生的科学研究意识，改善他们对科学的态度我们的目标受众是由中学物理教师组成（苏格兰的S1-S6，英格兰的7-13年级）及其学生。中学物理教师往往在他们的职业生涯中教不同的水平，资源不是针对特定的课程水平。相反，他们的目标是将课程项目（如黑体辐射定律，平方反比定律，绘图和绘图，红移，哈勃定律，讲故事等）与真实的研究数据和每所学校独有的科学仪器相结合。一旦教师对板块和资源感到满意，希望资源将嵌入他们的实践中，并在教师的职业生涯中多次使用。我们的初步评估表明，这也是老师们的意图--例如，一位老师在我们2019年的一次评估中表示，“总的来说，这是一场精彩的活动，这激励我将其纳入L&T的尽可能多的阶段”。教师和学校的招聘将优先考虑社会经济贫困地区以及地理偏远地区，这两个地区在科学方面的代表性不足。该项目的目的是让教师将这项工作的方法和思想融入他们的实践中，以便该项目的遗产超出学生的最初受众，包括：- 教师经过培训，积极主动，有信心在整个职业生涯中将研究科学带入课堂-中学物理系的盘子，定期用于课堂学习-资源共享公开任何物理教师使用。
