| 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.
