The chemical and pharmaceutical industry is a significant economic engine in the United States but the percentage of students entering college interested in chemistry as a career has been declining in recent decades. High school chemistry students are more likely to see chemistry as a viable career option if their teachers have deep content knowledge with expertise in effective pedagogies so that teachers are able to show the excitement of becoming a professional chemist or biochemist. This project is bringing together professionals committed to improving the preparation of highly-qualified second school chemistry teachers. The workshop is organized by the American Chemistry Society (ACS) and is developing a strategic plan for an ACS led initiative to improve the preparation of chemistry teachers. This initiative is called the Chemistry Teacher Education Coalition (CTEC) and it is patterned on the highly successful Physics Teacher Education Coalition.

化学和制药行业是美国重要的经济引擎，但近几十年来，对化学职业感兴趣的进入大学的学生比例一直在下降。 如果高中化学学生的老师拥有深厚的内容知识和有效教学法的专业知识，那么他们更有可能将化学视为可行的职业选择，以便教师能够表现出成为专业化学家或生物化学家的兴奋感。 该项目汇集了致力于提高高素质中学化学教师培养水平的专业人士。 该研讨会由美国化学学会 (ACS) 组织，正在为 ACS 主导的提高化学教师准备的举措制定战略计划。 该倡议称为化学教师教育联盟 (CTEC)，它以非常成功的物理教师教育联盟为蓝本。
