Abstract
Two UK programmes to place school teachers in a university setting are
compared; the Excellence Fellowship Awards Pilot Scheme and the School
Teacher Fellows Scheme. In this paper we compare the School Teacher
Fellow Scheme supported by Bristol ChemLabS (Shallcross et al., 2013a,
2013b) and subsequently by the Royal Society of Chemistry with the
Excellence Fellowship, focussing on the recruitment and support of
fellows and their impact on transition from secondary to tertiary
education, secondary school chemistry teaching, tertiary teaching of
chemistry in general, and then more specific impacts on their own
teaching and career. Examples of the work undertaken by the School
Teacher Fellows are noted.
