| This feature provides a review of chemical principles that are likely to require review by the introductory chemistry teacher because they are used infrequently or are difficult for students to learn. Articles that highlight the application of established chemical principles to new situations arising as the result of discovery or emerging technology also are appropriate for this feature. The first editor of this feature, Doris Kolb, described the intent of the column as follows: "Hopefully this series will provide a mechanism whereby secondary school teachers can recalibrate their thoughts and reaffirm their understanding of some of the more fundamental concepts used repeatedly in their teaching." Manuscripts prepared for this feature should provide insights that go beyond the treatment of high-school or general chemistry texts, providing depth that will enable teachers to become confident in their understanding. In other words, the articles are intended primarily for reading by teachers of chemistry rather than resource reading for students. However, a well-written article may be very well useful as a resource for high ability or advanced students.
