An important part of the work of PRIMAS has been to provide teachers with professional development programmes that can support them in using inquiry-based learning approaches in their classrooms.

PRIMAS has brought together carefully designed materials that can be used in professional development programmes that:

• Start with teachers’ needs
• Allow teachers to reflect on their own teaching practices
• Use the type of innovative methods that teachers will use in their own evolving teaching
• Take into account contextual factors (such as assessment structures and the curriculum)
• Provide long term support for teachers
