Resources

Here at Researchers in Residence we want you to get a feel of what a placement is like, whether

you are a researcher or a host teacher opening up your school and classroom.

The links to the right of this page showcase previous placements and cover the viewpoints, experiences

and benefits for researcher and teacher alike.

Want to hear researcher and teacher experiences first hand?

Below we feature two podcasts so you can listen to researchers and teachersthat have experienced
placements first hand and to give you a feel of how Researchers in Residence placements operate
(Podcasts courtesy of the University of Edinburgh).
