Abstract The goal of the College of Chemistry of Beijing Normal University is to cultivate excellent chemistry teachers for middle schools in China. But there are some problems existing in the current cultivation of normal university students, such as the weak willingness of the junior students to actively acquire knowledge on teachers’ education, and the inability of the senior students to quickly adapt to their changed roles from students to pre-service teachers. By bringing the Excellent Chemistry Teachers’ Association of Beijing Normal University into the second classroom of normal university students, and carrying out classified and targeted teacher education activities for students of different grades, the College of Chemistry of Beijing Normal University is exploring the application of the Excellent Chemistry Teachers’ Association as the second classroom for normal university students majoring in chemistry, so as to realize the mutual promotion and collaborative education of the first and the second classroom. During the 2018—2019 academic year, the activities of the Excellent Chemistry Teachers’ Association and the relevant results have proved that this form meets the requirements of the College of Chemistry of Beijing Normal University for the cultivation of normal university students, and is conducive to improving their abilities on the basis of the first classroom teaching. This form of cultivating normal university students with the association as the second classroom has certain reference value to the cultivation of normal university students of other majors.
