Kendall Hunt Chemistry Workshops Draw Crowds

Monday, December 28, 2009 by Kendall Hunt
It appears that many high school chemistry teachers are looking for innovative secondary school textbooks for their classrooms.  At the NSTA regional conference in Phoenix, AZ earlier this month, author Kelly Deters presented Kendall Hunt Chemistry: Discovering the Chemistry You Need to Know to a full house.

Teachers listened with great interest as Kelly detailed how her experience as a classroom teacher, combined with extensive research, led to the development of this highly-engaging high school chemistry textbook.  Attendees were extremely impressed with the program's concise, practical approach to teaching chemistry.  They said it was so unlike the encyclopedia-type of textbook published by other educational book companies.  They knew their students would be able to make real-world connections with this high school chemistry textbook.

Dr. Deters truly showed how this approach allows teachers to teach chemistry without hearing "When am I ever going to need to know this?" (which just happened to be the title of the workshop).  I enjoyed speaking with many attendees following the session, and look forward to working with them as they implement the program in their schools next year!
