We understand that a passion for chemistry starts in the classroom.
After all, the ideas you teach will shape our world and inspire future generations of chemical scientists.
We can help you.
See how we helped our teacher member Samia El-Ali.
Our community is all about sharing knowledge and ideas. Through our Education Division, interest groups and local sections, you have the opportunity to connect with other education professionals as well as the chemical science community in your area. We also have an education coordinator in your region who can help you get the most out of the support we offer.
I have gained a lot of confidence though being a member and have attended a wide range of training and networking sessions which have been very useful in providing me with a range of new ideas to use in the classroom.
