Technicians' value

Thought this item from the Preproom.org June newsletter should be shared. It is referring to school technicians, but the message remains for HE. I particularly liked the sentiment, "When technicians are treated as equals to teaching staff and made to see how invaluable they are, motivation and morale tends to stay high, despite the relatively low pay"

mso-bidi-font-family:Arial;mso-ansi-language:EN-US">A couple of blog posts stood out for us recently, both from teachers praising science technicians for the work they do at their schools. In a role that is often overshadowed by negatives - poor pay, poor career structure etc, it was great to see some public acknowledgement of the tremendous work science technicians do, often seemingly unnoticed, on a daily basis.
