In 2002, the President of the American Chemical Society (ACS) challenged the ACS Society Committee on Education (SOCED) to begin the task of "reinventing" the content of chemistry education at the undergraduate and graduate levels to better prepare students for success as future chemists. SOCED organized an invitational conference, Exploring the Molecular Vision, in response to this challenge. The conference was designed to begin a discussion about the key concepts, factual knowledge, and skills that students need for today's chemistry careers. This report summarizes the key findings and conclusions of the conference. The full report is available on the ACS Web site.

Our Secondary School editors work hard to distill all the JCE materials to produce a fraction of particular interest to high school teachers. We call it CLIC.
In recent years we have worked hard to better match our advertisers with our readers. When shopping for chemistry education materials, visit our advertisers' WWW sites first.
Take JCE along on your outreach missions. Copies of the Journal, guest access to JCE Online, our publications catalog, and more are available for your participants.
