Two new school teacher fellows for the new academic year have been announced

The Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) has announced two new school teacher fellows for the new academic year. The fellowship scheme sees secondary school chemistry teachers seconded to universities to work on easing the school-to-university transition.

Catherine Smith will work at the University of Leicester on developing university-level practical experiments that can be delivered in schools, to help prepare students for chemistry at university.

Kristy Turner will undertake her fellowship at the University of Manchester where she will focus on improving university induction processes. Kristy will also take university staff into schools to raise their awareness of the teaching and learning practices they use.
