Technicians telling it how it is

School science technicians telling it how it is, from what they do and expect from teachers, to the best moments with students and the most important piece of equipment. This article is the first in a series written collaboratively by science technicians working in schools across the UK and Ireland.

A photograph of a teacher standing in a white lab coat, speaking with a class of children in a laboratory, is superimposed on a colourful background. Text reads "Teach Chemistry means support for classroom and staff room".
