Abstract
This article describes the central features of an innovative preparation program for science teachers at the University of Arizona and analyzes its impact on the preparation and recruitment of future chemistry teachers. The new program, housed entirely within the College of Science, represents an alternative model to teacher education that offers science departments an unprecedented opportunity to assume a central role in preparing a new generation of science teachers who can more effectively facilitate science learning.

Chemistry Teacher Connection

The "Chemistry Teacher Connection" (CTC) is especially for high school chemistry teachers. For only $40/year, it offers an online-only subscription to CLIC along with membership in the Division of Chemical Education, normally $65/year. CTC subscribers receive access to all articles and supplements from 1996 through the current issue.


C&EN CLICs

Through special arrangement with the ACS, JCE High School CLIC is now able to provide subscribers with online access to Chemical & Engineering News articles that have been selected specifically for secondary science instructors and their students.
