Eager to learn new skills and improve the quality of teaching chemistry, he participated in several summer seminars sponsored by the National Science Foundation. During his teaching career he had the rare opportunity to meet with two Nobel Prize Laureates in the field of science. He was soon assigned to District headquarters where he developed a Course of Study for chemistry teachers in LAUSD. This effort led to the publication of a chemistry textbook, Foundations of Chemistry, which he co-authored. The publication, followed by a second edition, was enormously successful. It was adopted in many school districts throughout the United States as well as in 20 foreign countries where some editions were translated. ; Jacob Brodking was an educator in chemistry, his contributions lay in making chemistry accessible through teaching resources like braille editions of foundational texts. ; Ernest Richard Toon was Associate Professor of Chemistry, Los Angeles Valley College, Van Nuys, California ; FINE.
