The American Chemical Society (ACS) has launched a discipline-specific professional teacher organization for chemistry teachers called the American Association of Chemistry Teachers or AACT. According to the press release, the new association is dedicated to improving chemistry education and providing specialized resources to more than 1 million K-12 chemistry and physical science teachers nationwide in the United States. AACT has three goals: to serve as a trusted source of curricular and pedagogical resources for K-12 chemistry instruction, to provide opportunities for chemistry teachers to network with each other and the broader ACS community, and to disseminate effective teaching and learning practices at the K-12 levels. AACT offers a slew of resources developed by ACS, including an online periodical, lesson plans, webinars and workshops with Continuing Education Units, and videos and other multimedia that will help teach chemistry concepts. Bravo and congratulations to the AACT.
