There is an exciting opportunity for chemistry and biology teachers at the University of Missouri this summer! The Chemistry Immersion Program (CHIP) will take place from July 13 through July 25, 2014. CHIP for teachers is a two-week program during which teacher participants will have valuable opportunities to refresh their knowledge of key concepts in chemistry and biochemistry as well as gain valuable experience with laboratory technology while staying in MU campus housing with all housing and dining expenses covered. There will also be an opportunity to earn one-hour of graduate credit in chemistry, biochemistry or science education.
During the first week, CHIP teachers will complete labs in chemistry and biochemistry and gain valuable experience with laboratory technology. There will also be time to collaborate with colleagues on instructional strategies to incorporate laboratory technology and investigations into instruction.
During the second week, teachers will apply knowledge gained from their CHIP experience and engage high school juniors and seniors with laboratory investigations in chemistry or biochemistry. This is an excellent opportunity for teachers to reinforce their own knowledge and assess student learning. The expectation is that CHIP teachers will take what they learn and implement the science and technology into their own classrooms and ultimately share their knowledge with professional colleagues at teacher conferences during the school year.
