This week e-Qualitas’ cohort of trainee chemistry teachers joined Joanna Igoe (e-Q’s Science Subject Lead) for their Chemistry Disciplinary Day at Mulberry UTC in London.

The day’s presentations and sessions covered key aspects of e-Qualitas’ initial teacher training curriculum, with a range of practical experiments covered throughout.

You can watch a short highlights video of the day’s sessions, with an overview of the day provided by Joanna, below:

Joanna was joined by e-Qualitas’ Scientist in Residence, Esther Ambrose-Dempster, who shared a presentation that covered aspects of her own research, as well as Green Chemistry.

The current cohort of trainee teachers is now in the second term of their Initial Teacher Training year, with many trainees now into their second-school placement. Mulberry UTC are a one of e-Qualitas’ partner schools, where two of our science cohort are applying their teacher training throughout the year.
