Reflecting Back, Marching Forward: Scaling Green Chemistry Through National Faculty Mentoring Networks

This slide deck presents a national partnership model for scaling green chemistry education through Faculty Mentoring Networks. It begins with the implementation gap between making a resource available and seeing it adopted, sustained, and adapted in real courses. It then outlines the complementary roles of the ACS Green Chemistry Institute and BioQUEST in combining disciplinary expertise, teaching resources, community infrastructure, and faculty development. The presentation describes the FMN process, including exploration, adaptation, implementation, reflection, and sharing, and identifies core design principles such as adaptation over adoption, peer collaboration, facilitation, and implementation as the intended outcome. It also presents an intentional pathway from participation to leadership and summarizes emerging participant outcomes related to belonging, progress, pedagogy, confidence, and facilitation. The resource concludes with Fall 2026 opportunities in green chemistry adaptation and implementation, case study development, and multilingual translation. It may be useful to faculty developers, chemistry educators, disciplinary organizations, and community leaders interested in supporting sustained curricular change through networked professional learning.
