This 3-week residential programme, which has been taking place every year since 1998 at CERN during the month of July, is open to Physics High School Teachers from all CERN member and observer States, as well as from other countries subject to funding availability, who would like to update their knowledge of particle physics, its associated technologies and related subjects.

Goals of the High School teachers' programme:

To promote the teaching of physics and, in particular of particle physics, in high schools
To promote the exchange of knowledge and experience among teachers of different nationalities
To expose teachers to the world of research
To stimulate activities related to the popularization of physics within and beyond the classroom
To help CERN establish closer links with European schools
To encourage the cooperation between CERN and existing programs sponsored by the European Union in the area of scientific education
The work produced during the 3-week programme is documented and collected by the participants at http://teachers.cern.ch/.

Please consult this site for more details about the programme, and for a good collection of materials to be used in the class-room.
