New RSC Teacher Fellows

The RSC's Teacher Fellowship scheme continues with two new fellows, funded through the National HE STEM Programme. 

Declan Fleming 

Declan began at the University of Bath in August and his work there will focus on the areas of assessment and the use of e-learning. 'I'm looking at assessment in various different formats', Declan says, 'ways that we can improve feedback using whiteboards or Twitter, through to what we do with data on a larger scale and how we can use that to better inform discussions with tutors about students' learning'. Declan is also eager to foster increased awareness of contemporary science in schools and hopes 'to set up a project with a local company to promote engagement with front-line scientific research'.
