High school chemistry teachers have faced a number of changes in their classrooms in recent years. Technology has impacted the way chemistry laboratories are equipped. Teachers have students who are learning English and the language of chemistry simultaneously. The enactment of No Child Left Behind has placed an emphasis on assessment, requiring teachers to develop new protocols to assess their students in line with state and national standards.

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.
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.
Occasionally, collections of JCE back issues become available for donation to individual teachers, schools, or libraries. JCE matches collections with interested recipients. Recipients pay shipping costs or pick up the collection.
