Inspiring today's students
Meet Chris George and Leila Elliott, recipients of the 2008 RSC Schools Education Awards
Chris George, chemistry teacher at the Royal Latin School, Buckinghamshire, and Leila Elliott, education consultant for the North East Process Industry Cluster's (NEPIC) Science Education Unit, are the recipients of the 2008 Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) Schools Education Awards.
The aim of these annual awards is to recognise teachers and other professionals who have made significant contributions to the teaching of chemistry in schools and colleges. This year's award winners each receive a certificate and £250.
Sharing a passion for chemistry
Chris George's award acknowledges 'his tireless and inspirational promotion of chemistry to his pupils and their parents as well as to students from a host of local schools. His innovative approach to the subject within his local area and more widely can be seen as a case study of what high-profile teaching can achieve'.
