This presentation attempts to illuminate the professional status of people who have occupied or applied for positions labeled “chemical educator” at a variety of academic institutions. We solicited the anonymous participation of key individuals who have participated in some fashion in the process of hiring or promotion, including both candidates and employers. The results provide insights regarding the perceived value of chemical education research and practice within the discipline of chemistry.
