Opportunity from AACT
As you’re probably aware the American Chemical Society (ACS) is hosting a fall
meeting in Boston next month. As part of the meeting the K-12 education
division will host a two-day HS chemistry teacher’s
program<http://www.acs.org/content/acs/en/education/educators/coursesworkshops/high-school-teacher-day-acs-national-meeting.html>
August 16-17. The
program<http://www.acs.org/content/dam/acsorg/education/educators/coursesworkshops/high-school-day-boston-2015.pdf>
includes workshops, resource sharing, and networking specifically for HS
teachers. AACT is looking for a chemistry teacher attendee to serve as our
social media correspondent. The purpose of the AACT social media correspondent
is to share learning experiences and insight about the days’ programs and
takeaways with teachers in the ACCT community who couldn’t attend the live
program. The correspondent would be responsible for attending both days (August
16-17) of HS day programming while sharing the events of the days via live
social media tweets & posts. Post-meeting they would be responsible for
writing a post for the AACT blog which summarizes their experience at the event.
As compensation, AACT will cover the $100 registration fee for current AACT
members, -or- provide a free membership and partial registration fee
reimbursement for nonmembers.
What we’re looking for:
+A current AACT HS teacher member -or- HS chemistry teacher interested in
becoming an AACT member
+A currently active Twitter & Facebook user; comfortable using hashtags,
attaching images, and using features of both social media platforms.
+Enjoys writing, and can commit to a 400-600 word blog post by August. 27
We had a wonderful Colorado teacher who served as the first social media
correspondent for the ACS HS Day in Denver, and it was extremely successful.
We’re hoping to replicate that in Boston and in future ACS HS Day programs. I’m
happy to provide more details to your or anyone who may interested!
Thanks very much,
Nicolle
