BCCE 2020: Evidence-Based Instructional Practices: Flipped Classrooms and Inquiry-Based Teaching Strategies

We really encourage all two-year college educators to speak at the 2020 BCCE about what they are doing that is working for their students. There are multiple types and communities of chemistry educators. Some of us are excellent teachers, educational researchers, or providers of public outreach. Each of us brings value to our understanding of how chemistry is taught and learned, and we can ALL learn from each other.
