"Teachers of chemistry -- whether in colleges, high schools, middle schools, community colleges, or graduate schools -- say helping shape the lives and minds of students is the most satisfying aspect of their work. It is the reason they have chosen teaching as the career in which to practice their knowledge of chemistry."

Allene Johnson has taught high school chemistry for 41 years. "I like high school students because they possess maturity, but they also have an innocence about them," she says.
