ESSE is the national subject association which represents the professional interests of teachers of Earth and Space Science (ESS), whether they teach full ESS courses or some ESS standards as part of a Science course.

Our objectives are to make sure that ESS is well resourced and that secure, ‘fit-for-purpose’, assessments are available for teachers to use. We will advertise PLD opportunities such as workshops, conferences and field trips and also keep you up to date with some of the latest ESS news.
