Non-specialist teachers on course
Non-specialist chemistry teachers benefit from tailored Inset course thanks to the RSC and GlaxoSmithKline
Natalie has a first class degree in biomedical science. She recently started teaching biology in a 11-16 comprehensive school with 'specialist science' status. Next term Natalie will also teach chemistry to Y11. She admits to being 'terrified' by the prospect. She has no maths qualification beyond GCSE, and the thought of teaching chemical calculations covers her in goose bumps. In her favour she does have an A-level in chemistry. There are many competent biology and physics teachers, and some geography and PE teachers, currently teaching chemistry to Key Stage 3 and 4 students with only GCSE chemistry.
