We are pulling together the final details for the first CFTC Workshop happening July 10-13 at Saint Joseph’s College of Maine! The workshop is pulling together participants from all over the country, from diverse institutions and backgrounds. The goals of the workshop are to share resources and best practices in chemistry CBL so that all participants leave with enhanced CBL materials, and also to give leading CBL practitioners the time and space to work together on disseminating some of the ideas and strategies discussed. One product of the workshop will be enhancements to this website – stay tuned!
