The Galilean School of Higher Studies includes in its offering advanced training courses dedicated to high school teachers.
Learning Objectives
The course Frontiers of Fundamental Physics (F3) is aimed at high school physics teachers and is designed to offer professional and cultural development by illustrating, through a structured path, the discoveries and open problems in fundamental physics. It uses Nobel Prizes awarded in the last 20 years as a common thread. The need for the course arises from the inclusion of modern physics in the curriculum of Physics courses, and its goal is to provide not only an update on the aspects of fundamental physics at the frontier of current research, but also tools to introduce these aspects competently into lessons in secondary schools and help guide students more effectively as they transition to University.

Learning Objectives
The course In the Author’s Mind (AUTFIL), aimed at high school teachers, seeks to provide training in the disciplines of author philology and genetic philology applied to major authors from the Italian literary canon (Petrarch, Tasso, Leopardi, Manzoni, Gadda, Morante, early 20th-century Italian poets), with the aim of enhancing genetic materials for a better and more dynamic understanding of literary texts.
The course objectives are:
Course Content
A – Author Philology: History, Theory, and Practice
B – Author Philology: Case Studies
Total Hours: 75 (18 hours of lectures, workshops / 57 hours of individual study)
Schedule:
The course consists of six 3-hour lectures. Each session will include a theoretical front lecture followed by a closer study of specific cases, using available digital resources (e.g., monographic portals for authors like Torquato Tasso, Giacomo Leopardi, Alessandro Manzoni, etc.).
