Abstract
I plan to present a brief summary of the workshops I attended at the 28th Biennial Conference on Chemical Education held at the University of Kentucky, July 28-August 1, 2024. The conference was organized around four themes within the K-12, two-year college, and university communities: Classroom Practice and Learning Environments, Curriculum and Cognition, Assessment and Research Methods, and Professional Development.
