Jessie and I would like to encourage everyone who has done research that has directly impacted practice or those who have used the results of chemistry education research to change their practice to submit an abstract for the Fall ACS meeting - or even better partner up and submit a pair of talks with one highlighting the research and one highlighting the practice. The deadline is coming up quickly - Monday, March 27.

Putting CER into Practice: Using Chemistry Education Research to Inform Teaching Strategies (Oral)
The results of chemistry education research provide a significant resource to inform teaching strategies and the design of instructional materials at both the high school and undergraduate levels. The goal of this symposium is to provide a forum for instructors wishing to learn about, adapt, and incorporate research-based materials and teaching strategies into their courses, with the goal of "doing better things" to create more effective learning environments to promote students achieving a deeper understanding of chemistry and developing appropriate science process skills. We strongly encourage paired submissions to this symposium that include two linked talks by different presenters. The first talk will present the design and results of a chemistry education research project, while the second talk will describe the how the research informed changes to classroom practice. Please indicate the paired talk in the notes to organizers. This symposium is sponsored by the DivChed Chemistry Education Research Committee.
