School Teacher Fellows


Through the RSC's School Teacher Fellowship scheme, secondary school chemistry teachers are seconded to work in university chemistry departments to give academics the benefit of their teaching experience, their knowledge of the curriculum and to contribute to academics' understanding of students' abilities and experience. 

Under the HE STEM Programme, School Teacher Fellows will undertake a variety of projects aimed at easing the school-to-university transition. This year, two fellows have been appointed. Among other things, they will be looking at assessment methods at university and ways to develop students' independent learning abilities.

The RSC School Teacher Fellowship scheme has been supported by:
