 Institute for Chemistry Literacy Through Computational Science Fellows Summer Institute II
|
This is the second year of participation in the Institute for Chemistry Literacy and Computational Science (ICLCS) for Cadre II Fellows. The workshop will take place from July 13, 2009 to July 24, 2009
This is the second year of participation in the Institute for Chemistry Literacy and Computational Science (ICLCS) for Cadre II Fellows. The vision of ICLCS is to provide rural Illinois chemistry teachers with content, computational tools and teaching methodology, and leadership development to meet the following goals:
* Strengthen high school teachers' and students' understanding of chemistry
* Instill in teachers a sense of confidence and competence about their ability to teach chemistry, with a special focus on using computational methods and visualizations of molecular behavior
* Enhance and disseminate the traditional high school chemistry curriculum to include computational science methods and resources
* Nurture the sense of community among research faculty and high school teacher participants that is possible with an intensive, long-term program, focusing on the use of the Access Grid and course development tools to enable year-round interaction
* Create a cadre of leaders (ICLCS Fellows) who will become advocates for excellence in mathematics and science
ICLCS is a collaborative program of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Department of Chemistry, College of Medicine, the National Center for Supercomputing Applications, and our K-12 partners, Regional Office of Education #38, and A-C Central School District.
