CLEAPSS & Job-Alike Workshops (JAWS) for Science Technicians

BIS HCMC was excited and proud this week to host both a training event and best practise sharing workshop (JAWS) for science technicians from across Asia.

CLEAPSS is a UK organisation that's internationally renowned for supporting practical science education. It is regularly consulted by the UK government and its advice and documentation are recognised by both the Health and Safety Executive and the Department for Education.

CLEAPSS trainer and advisor Joanna Sacks visited BIS this week to deliver the training to eighteen science technicians visiting from all across Asia. As a result, technicians are now better equipped to find information and benefit from the excellent guidance CLEAPSS is able to offer our schools. Apart from updating and improving health and safety practise, technicians have been learning how better to support teaching in Science labs. Teachers are looking forward to this learning being cascaded down to them with the aim of further improving the student’s experience of science at BIS.
