The contributor of that teaching strategy was Angie Stockam at Maize HS, one of our KACT Regional Representatives and a National Board certified chemistry teacher, who teaches in the classroom next to me. I am glad others have benefited from her expertise and willingness to share. Susan B.

I used the "Stoichiometry Fairy Tale" that was provided by a member sometime last school year. The project created a visual for many students that weren't getting it. I soon started to see doodles of the fairy tale beside an occasional problem when the student was flashing back to the construction of the project. When students were doing group practice, some would use the fairy tale as a map when leading the group. Thanks to the KACT member that made the "Stoichiometry Fairy Tale" contribution. Good luck, Kelly. ________________________________ From: kact-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:kact-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Kelly Deters Sent: Thursday, February 01, 2007 11:42 AM To: kact@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [KACT] impact? I'm working on the Entry 4 for my National Boards and one of my "accomplishments" was founding KACT. But I need SPECIFIC impact on student learning in order for it to be considered an accomplishment. I have my own stories, but those count as "learner" accomplishments...if anyone else has a story about impacting student learning from the result of KACT formation, I'd love to hear it...that way starting the group would count as a "leader" accomplishment as well! :-) Thanks!
