Abstract
Sustained, high-quality professional-development programs for secondary science teachers as envisioned by both the National Science Education Standards and The Glenn Commission are still not readily available. This report details a professional-development degree program developed collaboratively by the University of Pennsylvania (Penn) Department of Chemistry—a research department with no previous teacher education mission—and Penn’s Graduate School of Education along with area school districts. The program integrates chemistry content, chemistry pedagogy and research, and an inquiry-based teaching-learning model. Program design features and rationale along with project evaluation and results are reported.

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.
