From Grad School to Grade School

The Scientist, a magazine for the life sciences, published in September an article with the title above, mapping the route for PhDs who are interested in becoming a science teacher. The main point of the article was that there are many opportunities, with quick training available if you already have a PhD. The main tips were:

  • Find a good mentor.
  • Bone up on classroom management.
  • Choose the right school.
  • Keep it simple.
Unfortunately, this article is not freely available online. But if you're interested in becoming a science teacher, I recommend you try to track down a copy!
