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，对化学感兴趣的大学生比例一直在下降。 高中化学学生更有可能看到化学作为一个可行的职业选择，如果他们的老师有深刻的内容知识与专业知识，有效的化学，使教师能够表现出成为一个专业的化学家或生物化学家的兴奋。 该项目汇集了致力于提高高素质中学化学教师的准备的专业人士。 该研讨会由美国化学学会（ACS）组织，正在为ACS领导的改善化学教师准备的倡议制定战略计划。 这一倡议被称为化学教师教育联盟（CTEC），它是在非常成功的物理教师教育联盟的模式。
