Science Technician Conversation: Supporting Trainee Science Teachers

Science technicians play an important role in supporting trainee teachers as they learn to teach practical science safely and effectively.

In this short interview, Christina, Science Technician at Mulberry Woodside School in London, explains how she helps trainees prepare for science lessons by organising equipment and materials and sharing her experience of supporting practical work in science lessons.

Experiences like this help trainees develop the confidence and subject knowledge needed to teach science in secondary school.
