Teacher Subject Specialism Training (TSST)

The TSST programme has ended. This page has information about its successor.

The Teacher Subject Specialism Training (TSST) programme ended on 31 March 2021.

The successor programme, funded by the Department for Education (DfE), is Subject Knowledge for Physics Teachers (SKPT). Delivery of SKPT will begin in September 2021 and continue until March 2022. SKPT is for teachers in state schools in England who are not specialist physics teachers but who are timetabled to teach physics.

Classroom resources

The following resources were developed for a Science Additional Specialism: Physics 30-day course and were made freely available to TSST providers. Each of these PowerPoint files represents roughly one day’s programme of the TSST course and allowed these providers to access and customise content developed by the IOP. These materials remain available to schools.

As an educational establishment you can use these classroom materials free of charge. These materials may not be reproduced for profit by any other organisation.
