Abstract
This Presidential Symposium held at the Spring 2005 ACS Meeting in San Diego explored strategies for making career transitions to teaching high school chemistry. Although each state has its own protocol for becoming a high school science teacher, there are certain criteria that are common to all. For those who are considering transitioning to teach high school chemistry, practical advice for applying to a credential program and alternative pathways for obtaining a secondary credential were presented. The variety of career pathways as well as the challenges and rewards of teaching high school chemistry were presented by these high school chemistry teachers who had successfully transitioned to the high school chemistry classroom.
