Find support on our teacher well-being hub
May is Mental Health Awareness Month – and, at Education in Chemistry, we’re thinking about how important it is to look after ourselves and those around us. Mental well-being is a vital and ever-relevant topic, which is why EiC is focusing on teachers’ well-being all year round. As well as a well-being pull-out in the May print issue, you can find a host of support, ideas and strategies on our teacher well-being hub.
Do you know someone doing amazing work in education?
Now is your chance to recognise them!
Show your appreciation for an individual or team who has gone above and beyond to make a difference in science teaching by nominating them for an RSC education prize. Last year’s winners include Robert Worley FRSC (chemistry adviser, CLEAPSS) – register here to join him on 26 May for a session exploring the value of teaching microscale chemistry.
Our prizes celebrate educators across primary, secondary, further and higher education, including technicians working in education, and recognise a wide range of skills – from curriculum design to effective teaching to working culture. There are two main categories: Excellence in Education Prizes and Horizon Prizes for Education. Nominations are open now – who do you know that deserves recognition?
