Narratives from the inorganic laboratory and community of scholars

Inorganic chemistry educators are engaged and creative scholars, fervently committed to improving student outcomes. This work provides narratives from practicing inorganic faculty who have developed innovative approaches to teaching at the collegiate level, including broader curriculum issues and connections to the Interactive Online Network of Inorganic Chemists (IONiC) Community of Practice. The chapters in this volume describe creative laboratory experiences and how to advance curriculum
while maintaining (finding ways to improve upon) faculty engagement within the community. This work is ideal for faculty and teachers who want to learn the latest trends in teaching inorganic chemistry to students at all levels.

Rebecca M. Jones earned a PhD in inorganic chemistry from the University of Cincinnati and is currently an Associate Professor in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at George Mason University. She is a leader in the College of Science and STEM Accelerator, serving as director of the Undergraduate Research Colloquium and principal investigator for the Rural and Diverse Student Scholars Program funded by the National Science Foundation. Earning multiple nominations for teaching excellence awards, she has developed new courses and creative active learning activities to improve student outcomes. Her research interests include photographic chemistry, retention in STEM, and undergraduate research experiences. Dr. Jones is an active member of the American Chemical Society, an elected chemistry councilor on the Council on Undergraduate Research, issue editor for the journal Scholarship and Practice of Undergraduate Research, and president of the George Mason University chapter of Sigma Xi. In 2018, she coedited the ACS Symposium Series Volume 1275, Best Practices for Supporting and Expanding Undergraduate Research in Chemistry.
