Teacher responsibility

For the responsible teachers of chemistry there are other messages also, if they care to seek for them for from these records of achievement much may be learned as to the actual needs of industry on its scientific side, and as to the types of workers who will have to be trained if these needs are to be properly met. 

My views on this subject obviously have been influenced by the literature of the field, and my citations to this literature can serve as acknowledgment of this debt less obviously my views have also been influenced by teachers, colleagues, and students, to whom I express my thanks. Where I have strayed, intentionally or in error, from accepted interpretations, I accept responsibility and hope that students may be led to think independently by such deviant notions. 

Education - providing mentoring for teachers, administrators and students. Sometimes this responsibility is taken on by peers, i.e. students mentor other students or teachers mentor their colleagues. 

It is our experience that to the first question, the most common student response is something akin to Because my teacher told me so . One is tempted to say that it is a pity that the scientific belief of so mat r students is sourced from an authority, rather than from empirical evidence - except that when chemists are asked question (ii), they find it not at all easy to answer. There is, after all, no single defining experiment that conclusively proves the claim, even though it was the phenomenon of Brownian motion that finally seems to have clinched the day for the atomists 150 or so years ago. Of course, from atomic forced microscopy (AFM), we see pictures of gold atoms being manipulated one by one - but the output from AFM is itself the result of application of interpretive models. 

Possible course of action, but also consider informing any other responsible adult, for example a teacher. 

False. Whilst it is true that the teacher or group leader is responsible for your safety, you are still fully responsible for the safety of yourself and those around you.

Hand it to a responsible person such as a parent, teacher, pharmacist, policeman, etc. It can then be returned to the rightful owner. 

The chemistry laboratory is a place to experiment and learn. You must assume responsibility for your own personal safety and that of people working near you. Accidents are usually caused by carelessness, but you can help prevent them by closely following the instructions printed in this manual and those given to you by your teacher. The following are some safety rules to help guide you in protecting yourself and others from injury in a laboratory. 

Maintain control when working with students but without stifling fun. It s best to have an agreement with the teacher that he or she will always be present and will take responsibility for any disciplinary problems. Discuss with the students your expectations, and expect them to behave responsibly. If criticism is needed, criticize the behavior rather than the person, and never embarrass kids in front of their peers. 

More often than not, the people responsible for my coming to a workshop are not the administrators, they are the parents and injured teachers who are going through that loss of self-esteem and feeling that all of their influence has been taken from them. They re feeling isolated and ostracized. I share with them my story and the stories of others who have recovered, to show them that there is life after chemical injury and that no one can take your power away from you unless you allow them to. 

Samples. Do not go on to a new sample until you thoroughly understand the example you are currently working on. If you do not understand a sample after considerable thought, ask your AP chemistry teacher or fellow classmates how they approached the problem. Be sure to work each sample with pencil and paper as you go through the book. Write out your answer to every free-response question. Practice makes perfect ... 

Yet another technique has been to interview children or adults (such as teachers, Sch fer Smith, 1996) directly, either using questionnaires (Smith et al., 1992), or interviews (Boulton, 1992a). Clearly, people s answers may not be accurate in terms of what we observe, but this method should inform us about what they think and perceive. This has it s own intrinsic interest, and also interest in terms of discrepancies between beliefs and behaviour. In the case of older children, especially adolescents, we may get uniquely useful insights, while bearing in mind the possible distortions due to selective perception and memory, limited insight to motivation, and social desirability in responses, that bear on verbal report data (Boulton, 1992a). 

Such politically driven revisions of the race concept became more urgent still as the fully horrific details of the fascist programs in Europe became known. In response to German and Italian state policies, for instance, a handbook for secondary school teachers (1939) pointed out that Mussolini s effort to drive the Jews out of Italy is impossible, because not even the foremost anthropologist could tell exactly whose ancestry is free of Jewish blood. 27 Likewise, Benedict s popular pamphlet The Races of Mankind (1943) insisted, Aryans, Jews, Italians are not races. 28... 

You should always check with your teacher or lecturer the first time you carry out any procedure or use any piece of equipment you have not used before. It will be your responsibility to collect the materials you need for your project and to put them away when you have finished with them. 

For most interviewees, the decision to attend graduate school was made while in college. When asked who or what most influenced their decision to attend graduate school, the top response was self, followed closely by mentor (see Fig. 3.5). As was true for the decision to attend college, teachers once again played a pivotal...
