Practical Classroom Implementations for Critical Pedagogy

Clarissa Sorens... | Wed, 10/02/2019 - 15:20

Once one knows about Critical Pedagogy (with respect to Critical Thinking, as was covered in the ), how is that knowledge used?

Intrinsic Motivation for the Chemistry Teacher – Time to Collaborate!

Jessica Mintz | Fri, 08/09/2019 - 10:30

After attending ChemEd at North Central College in Naperville, Illinois, this past summer and meeting such wonderful chemistry teachers from across the country, I began to think about motivation and how important it is in our field to find those intrinsic motivators. With the Next Generation of Science Standards (NGSS) taking hold in most states across the country, I call upon chemistry teachers to collaborate and I challenge you to find what intrinsically motivates you as a chemistry teacher.

3-Dimensional Assessments and Helping Students Develop the Necessary Skills

Deborah Herrington | Fri, 10/19/2018 - 16:55

Recent efforts have recognized the Framework for K-12 Science Education and the Next Generation Science Standards as the most current research regarding what we know about teaching and learning of science, and have suggested that 3-dimensional (3D) instruction should guide science instruction at not only the K-12 level, but also at the college level.
