Many resources are available for educators to aid student learning in green chemistry, like the U.N. Sustainable Development Goals, chemistry education publications, and the ACS Green Chemistry Institute (ACS GCI). From ACS GCI, there is the Green Chemistry Teaching & Learning Community (GCTLC) in partnership with Beyond Benign, textbooks and webinars, the green chemistry teaching modules, and so much more. The goal of this symposium is for our speakers to share which green chemistry resources they are using in their classrooms or laboratories, why they are using them, and how.
This symposium welcomes submissions from a diversity of chemistry educators across the curriculum to share what they are doing to not only show students about green chemistry but help them think about, reflect on, and do green chemistry. Attendees will leave with practical advice on how to add green chemistry into their general, organic, and upper-level chemistry classes, whether they are looking for a major overhaul or those first small steps.
