Anaheim Convention Center, “The Tower”.

The NSF’s Research Experiences for Teachers (RET) initiative, and similar programs have proved that mentored research experiences for K–12 science teachers prepare them most effectively to lead inquiry- and standards-based science instruction and laboratories. This symposium will discuss the outcomes and value of the RET experience from the perspective of teachers, scientists, NSF, and program managers.

A few years ago techniques such as email, presentation software, and Web pages were innovative instructional technologies; now they are used in many chemistry classrooms. Rapid changes in instructional technology suggest that new methods will have a similar impact in the decade ahead. We will focus on new uses of computing technology and investigate how they will shape the next decade of chemistry instruction. B. George C.

faculty requires support and mentoring, particularly at the beginning of a faculty member’s career. Model programs that enable faculty members to generate cutting-edge ideas and be active in research throughout their career will be highlighted, as will programs that have had success recruiting and maintaining faculty members from underrepresented groups. Wednesday, March 31 Morning

A crucial issue facing chemistry departments at PUIs is creating and maintaining an active, vital faculty. The small size of most PUI chemistry departments means that a vibrant research enterprise is fragile, sustaining a passion for research can be difficult, recruiting underrepresented minorities as faculty may prove difficult, and maintaining a vital
