The purpose of the Chemical Education Research (CER) Committee is to inform educators about chemical education research, to foster scholarship, and to encourage improvement in the quality of chemistry education research. This vision is achieved through a variety of avenues for educators to learn about CER, while providing a platform that highlights work and methods within the field.
The current leadership of CERC (past chair Nikita Burrows, chair Elizabeth Day, and chair-elect Regis Komperda) are working to implement changes in the committee structure and activities to best align with the revised vision and mission of the committee and the DivCHED Strategic Plan.
Since our last report, CERC has organized and supported initiatives that align with the DivCHED Strategic Plan
