The RSC President’s Award 2018
What makes this team of six teachers and one technician so inspirational?
Kathryn Roberts reveals who has been awarded the 2018 Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) President’s Award for ‘inspiring and showing students – often those with fewer opportunities in life than others – the importance of chemistry in the world and providing them with the best possible chance for the future to study at top universities’. President of the RSC Sir John Holman, who set the criteria for this year’s award, comments: ‘I have always been interested in inspirational teaching that goes beyond good exam results, engages students with their subject so they want to continue studying it, and ensures they will remember what they have learnt for the rest of their lives. [The winners] are both inspirational and effective teachers and they work in one of the most disadvantaged parts of London.’
