Times Educational Supplement January 12, 2007
Posted by Brian in : Uncategorized , trackbackI received an email the other day from a journalist Douglas Blane. Douglas has written many articles about education for the Times Educational Supplement.
He had stumbled upon my blog and wondered if I would mind talking to him about what life is like as a technician these days with the view to him writing an article for TES.
After I checked the necessary protocol with my head teacher Ronnie Summers I had a chat with Douglas over the phone. He asked me about my role as a GLOW mentor and what I was hoping would come of the Scottish executives report into CPD and related activities when it is published later this year.
Douglas used to be a science teacher and I was impressed by his knowledge of the issues currently affecting technicians across the country. I am hoping that his article will help raise awareness of some of these issues as well as the general profile of support staff in schools.
His article should be published within the next couple of weeks all being well.

Good on you Brian,
An opportunity like this might not come around again and in the short time that I have been in contact with you I know that you have a real genuine interest in promoting the invaluable contributions that technicians and support staff make within the Scottish education sector. I for one look forward to ensuring that there will be a copy of that copy of theTES sitting on the coffee table in the drums science department.
Cheers

I second Harry’s comments. I am glad to see our profile being raised especially nationally in an article such as TES. Keep up the excellent work.

As far as I am aware it will only be a small article but its a start and hopefully will do its part in raising our profile.
