Workshop to Revise 'Teaching Chemistry to Students with Disabilities'

化学司将支持在亚利桑那州立大学举行的为期三天的研讨会，以更新和修订手册《向残疾学生教授化学》。美国化学学会将出版修订后的手册，并将由美国化学学会和美国科学促进会分发。修订后的手册将包括对有视觉、听力、运动和学习障碍的K-12、本科生和研究生参与化学教学计划的当前和最佳做法的概述。该手册将涵盖安全、实验室改造、讲座和测试策略、在教学中使用计算机、教学材料以及《美国残疾人法》等规则和条例。讲习班的参加者将来自那些在向K-12至大学一级的残疾学生以及研究生和本科生教授化学方面享有盛誉的人。

The Chemistry Division will support a three day workshop, to be held at Arizona State University, to update and revise the manual "Teaching Chemistry to Students with Disabilities." The American Chemical Society will publish the revised manual and it will be distributed by the ACS and the American Association for the Advancement of Science. The revised manual will consist of an overview of current and best practices for participation of k-12, undergraduate and graduate students with visual, hearing, motor and learning disabilities in instructional programs in chemistry. The manual will cover safety, laboratory modifications, lecture and testing strategies, use of computers in instruction, instructional materials and rules and regulations such as the Americans with Disabilities Act. Workshop participants will be drawn from those with established reputations in teaching chemistry to students with disabilities at the k-12 through university levels as well as graduate and undergraduate students.
