Kindness – Building a better chemistry culture
Thursday 21 May, 3.30 – 4.30pm
Kindness has an incredible impact, both when directed at others, and at ourselves. Making time to be kind can have a great positive effect on your well-being.
As part of Mental Health Awareness Week, we’re running a webinar on the science of kindness on Thursday 21 May. Speakers include Zoe Ayres, winner of the audience participation prize in the RSC’s 2020 twitter poster competition, for her poster on mental health in your PhD.
Take time to explore Education in Chemistry’s well-being hub
In this time of uncertainty and social isolation, being intentional about looking after yourself is more important than ever. You can now read all of Education in Chemistry’s well-being related articles in one place. They include:
- strategies on feeling better about yourself and improving your work life balance;
- how an educational psychologist can help to solve stresses at school;
- testimonies of what’s worked for other chemistry teachers; and
- the next steps of where people can turn to when experiencing mental health difficulties.
Making a difference
As a science teacher, you're the catalyst in young people's lives, helping to inspiring the next generation who will solve the world's challenges.
Inspire your students to explore careers in chemistry with our Chemistry Making The Difference video resources.
Support for primary science teachers
Each week, we’ve been highlighting resources around a particular theme to help you support primary students learning from home. Topics so far have included colour, materials and space. We’re also running weekly events online to support primary teachers with remote teaching.
Our ideas are easy to use, will help you to continue to engage students’ curiosity with science even while schools are closed, and you can now find them all in one place.
