International Science Qualification News October 2026
Hello colleagues,
Welcome to your October update for International Science teachers.
For teachers of our IAL Science courses there's some news in this update regarding our new specifications which will be for first teaching in September 2027 - do get involved in our consultation on these if you are interested! We've also got news of free online resources and upcoming CPD opportunities, including new 'mark like an examiner' self-paced courses for International GCSE science teachers!
As ever, don't hesitate to get in touch if I can help in any way - why not book a Teams call with me (follow the link below) if it would be helpful to talk something over?
Best wishes,
