July 14, 2009 CCMR Institute for Chemistry Teachers
Designed specifically for high school chemistry teachers, the CCMR Institute for Chemistry Teachers (CICT) is a unique opportunity for professional development. The Institute offers a one-week course, CHEM 501: Contemporary Chemistry for Teachers, for graduate credit. Through lectures by Cornell faculty, hands-on laboratory activities and research facility tours, teachers gain an appreciation for modern chemistry and learn about recent advances in the field. Major components of the course are hands-on laboratories, several of which are tailored to address the NYS Chemistry Core Curriculum and meet the budgetary constraints of a typical high school.
