In support of teaching
David Read calls on new chemistry graduates to consider teaching as a career. There are challenges, but help is on hand
At the time of writing, students up and down the country are in the midst of exam season. After months of preparation, these students place themselves at the mercy of examiners in a bid to demonstrate their capabilities and facilitate progression to the next step in their lives. For some of our graduating students, that next step is into the classroom. Teaching has many attractions, and a good number of students will contemplate the possibility of a career in teaching at some point during their studies, and many will seek guidance to help them make the right decisions.
