| Summary |
The trainees are entering their final assessment phase and it’s time to find out whether they’ve made the grade. The shortage of science teachers in England has reached crisis point but Ian still may not pass the course if he does not change his teaching skills. After an observation by his university tutor, he admits that he still sees himself as a chemist rather than a teacher. He has one month left to meet standards or he will have to repeat the course in September. Lisa prepares for another job interview. Her school mentor tells her that she has passed the course with flying colors but this still will not secure her a job for September. Her form class think that she will easily get a job but after failing two more interviews she is having doubts. It all become too much for Ian. He decides to leave the course when he realizes that he will not reach the teaching standards by the end of the course. Invited back to retake the course in September, he concedes that teaching is not for him and instead returns to the chemical industry to work with pesticides. His wife is less than happy with the outcome |
