Science Alliances

Middle Grades Science Alliance

The Middle School Alliance is open to all teachers and is run by teachers. Our Teacher Coordinator is Tim Schneider who teaches science at Campbell County Middle School in Campbell County, Kentucky. Our Alliance also has four NKU faculty members who will be joining us at meetings and serve as a resource for participating teachers.

The Northern Kentucky Environmental Education Coalition includes educators form local schools, organizations, and state agencies who are involved in environmental education. They exchange ideas and plan events such as EE Workshops, resource fairs, and forums. All are highly encouraged to provide ideas and join the mailing list, etc. The work is very rewarding and provides a wonderful opportunity to make new friends and form supportive networks.

Chemistry Alliance

Chemistry Alliance is one of the seven alliances at Northern Kentucky University that serve the needs of Northern Kentucky teachers. Linda Pennington is the teacher coordinator of the Chemistry Alliance.  Twenty-two chemistry and physical science high school/college teachers met, in the spring of 2000 on a regular basis, to share and present chemistry content and pedagogical ideas.    

Future Events:

®     Teachers will meet to decide the agenda for the next academic year

®     Digital photographs of the group wearing their tied-die T-shirts

®     Design a website to post the Chemistry Alliance activities and products
