Welcome to our New Wiki!

This site has been established to create a space where Prov. Chem teachers can share their best ideas! Together we can improve the way we deliver instruction. We have all, individually been creating good lessons throughout our entire career. If we pool our efforts we can make all of our jobs easier, and make intellegent, reflective improvements in what we do in the classroom.
My hope, in creating this website, is to encourage the leaders in science instruction iwithin our district to cooperatively work to provide a resource for best practice instruction in chemistry. We can build our pedagogy by gathering strategies and techniques from the experiences of all of us. there are hundreds of years of teaching experience in this district, let's share what we have learned!

Exactly how we will provide constructive feedback to each other throgh this site may involve a steep learning curve. I was thinking that we could use the discussion tab as a place to offer suggestions. I am not sure if we should have a review process and list lessons which are highly recommended and offer implementation suggestions or not. I will leave that to us to figure out as we let the wiki evolve.
