Becca Price delivers keynote address
Dr. Becca Price presented a keynote address, entitled “Applying asset-based approaches to science teaching and faculty collegiality” at the annual meeting of the Washington College Chemistry Teachers Association. “This was a wonderful opportunity to talk to folks who teach intro chem,” said Price, “a series of courses in which students learn foundational science skills in addition to chemistry content.”
Price presented research about how students bring a variety of scientific skills with them to their classes, and instructors can build from that capital to support deeper learning. In parallel, the faculty can recognize a variety of skills instructors bring, supporting each other, too.
