Description: We seek to develop a multi-level anchoring chemical concept map (ACCM) for professional ethics in chemistry. This model has been developed and employed successfully by the ACS Examinations Institute for over ten years. Anchoring chemistry concept maps utilize a four-tiered structure and provide a content framework for education on a topic for the entire undergraduate chemistry curriculum. The tiers increase in specificity from Level I to IV. Levels III and IV are entirely content specific. In this session the presenters will discuss an ethics concept map and specific details with interested professionals.
