Year: 2025
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: Elixir to Schools started 10 years ago as a project aimed at improving physics education in the Czech Republic. Four years later it became an independent non-profit organisation. Nowadays it organizes more than 60 regional centres in the whole country for teachers of mainly physics and chemistry but also from primary schools and kindergartens. Currently, almost 3,000 teachers are involved in Elixir to Schools. Thus Elixir makes continuous and long-lasting in-service teachers’ training. The paper describes support provided to leaders of the centres, annual conferences of Elixir and specific experience from the project as well as teacher feedback gathered through the annual evaluation.
