TES article, Edu.blogs January 19, 2007
Posted by Brian in : TES, Uncategorized, edu.blogs , trackbackA small article about me being a science technician, glow mentor, and having a blog appears on page six of this weeks Times Educational Supplement.
I hope it goes a little way in raising the profile of science technicians and highlights a couple of issues affecting us.
Ewan McIntosh on his edu.blog (pictured right) picked up on it. He wri
tes some very complimentary words about the technician service and highlights the fact that my blog has stimulated interest in issues that are often brushed aside by management and the like. You can read what he has to say about technicians by clicking on his name above.
Ewan is somewhat of a “grande fromage” when it comes to blogging in education and I am grateful that he took the time to highlight my blog. Many big hitters read what he writes and again his post will hopefully serve to bring our profession, and the issues that affect us, into the eyeline of those in a position to help effect change.

Good article Brian. Let’s hope that the people who can make a difference to how technicians are portrayed in education read it and take on board the points raised and act on them in a positive way. It will be a shame if the Scottish Executive Report is delayed.

Brian,
Being from California I am not sure what a Science Technician is. Could you please explain. I really am enjoying reading your blog and Ewan’s as it gives me a different perspective on education and lets me pick up on some new vocabulary
