The high school chemistry teacher preparation program
has been designed to:
- develop skills and competencies
through courses
in chemistry and education
- teach classroom observing
and practice teaching activities
- provide
opportunity to participate in apprenticeship
studies of teaching methods under the tutelage
of a chemistry faculty member
The department requires that both undergraduate and
graduate chemistry/education majors attend a workshop
in laboratory safety practices and a workshop in hazardous
waste management and disposal. A written report on
each workshop should be submitted to the Chemistry
Department chairperson.
Undergraduate students who wish to pursue a career
in teaching high school chemistry should seek a double
major in chemistry and secondary education. |
