Chemistry Class Is Taught By Dedicated Group What does it take to be an; outstanding high school chemistry teacher? Dedication for one; thing, according to J. T.

Keating, Chairman of the Chemical Industry Council of Eastern Pennsylvania. Some 500 high schools in the eastern part of the state nominate were asked by the CIC to outstanding teachers in School principals and superintendents identified 52 teachers' they considered to be tops in their profession. Fifty tions were received in 1966. From these, some of the characteristics of outstanding teachers became apparent. The average teacher received a B.S.

in 1946 from a Pennsylvania college or! a university, but not one teacher stopped his education at that level. The average teacher attended four different colleges during the summer either for credit or for special training. Two eager beavers attended different training institwelve tutes since graduation. Only two of the teachers nominated had not received a master's degree, and one teacher will receive a Ph.D. this year.

While teachers attended a lot of different schools, they did not move around in their jobs. The average teacher had taught at only two different high schools and no teacher had held more ithan five different teaching as signments. When it came to joining organizations either inside or out-1 side the school, outstanding high school chemistry teachers hibited a great deal of individualism. The average teacher helonged to five different professional but few were average. Several belonged to only one and an equal number belonged to nine or more.

If teachers are under any pressure to involve! themselves with either school or community activities, it was not apparent. A number of teachers had no school activities outside their own teaching and were not involved in any way with community activities. On the; other hand, one teacher belonged to thirteen different or. ganizations. "The principals who made dithese nominations of top teachers obviously were not influenced by years of experience," says Keating.
