Keeping up certification means taking classes every so many years. But where are there any classes to encourage more chemistry learning? That is a question that I dealt with during the time that I taught secondary school. I looked all over Western Michigan and beyond and could not find any. It has been a dream of mine to develop a series of courses, taught by chemical professionals/ professors, to end this drought. My colleagues have agreed to help me in this dream.
In order to do this, I need some information from secondary school teachers. If these courses are to assist you, then you should have some input. Please complete the following survey. Your feedback is very important to us.
