The science teacher skill set

Do you ever feel like a superhero? Do you navigate the huge range of demands on your skill set with effortless ease? Or do you feel like you’re pulled in a million different directions? All of the secondary school teachers I know feel like they’re sinking more often than swimming – not because they struggle with their work, but that there’s just so many facets to it, and so much to get done.

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".
