Physics Education Policy Advisor (PEPA)

The Education Department uses Physics Education Policy Advisors (PEPAs) to formulate responses and policy. PEPAs offer advice and comment on education policy issues of concern to physics in schools and colleges. PEPAs also provide a steer for the Department in its education work.

We are keen to trying to recruit UK and Eire teachers and others with an interest in school and college physics education as PEPAs. The main form of communication will be via email. However, they will also be contacted when the Institute is asked to supply teacher representatives for a meeting or when it is deemed more effective to have a round table meeting.

Anyone with an interest in physics education in schools and colleges, who is prepared to make a commitment to responding to requests from the Institute can be a PEPA. Although there will be no payment for PEPAs, we hope that it will be useful professional development as well as something to include on a CV.
