Typically students say at the time, and come back to say that my class was the hardest class they ever took, but they learned and in the end they were glad they took the course. One of my former students became a nuclear engineer and came back to tell me of all the things I taught him, that problem solving skills and setting up problems to track units in a clear and coherent manner was most useful to him in his upper level courses. Go (significant) figure!

I am teaching this class because I love this topic. I love being able to explain everyday, ordinary occurrences through chemistry. I love it when my students begin being able to do the same. I see my role as being somewhat of a tour guide leading my students through the CED and allowing them to pause at tour stops along the way to interact with material and pick up knowledge keys that will be useful at future stops.

The course I teach is important to learners in the 21st century because this is one of the first courses students take in high school that really challenges them and pushes them outside their comfort zones.  While taking this course, students begin to learn the meaning of having grit and determination and not giving up when hitting a road block.  Students  learn to become resourceful in looking for new ways to solve problems.  Students also learn to collaborate with others and evaluate their work, their peers' work, and self-evaluate their learning.

They are thankful for their "Chemistry bible" which is the book of notes I provide them at the beginning of the year. They are really appreciative of the opportunities to collaborate, explore, do labs, and write up the experiments.  Apparently my lab reports are harder than the ones in college.  The ones that have reached out to me years later say that they like that I did not give up on them and encouraged them to go outside their comfort zone

because I LOVE it!  (but seriously,... because helping students find the joy in persevering and succeeding when it's not easy.
I hope I'm a guide and a facilitator...
