Resources for Teachers

Update Courses and Teaching Modules for High-School Teachers 

Our Update Courses are tailored to help middle and high-school teachers develop both a knowledge base and practical experience with topics that are the stated components of the Standards of Learning (SOLs) for the Commonwealth of Virginia. Designed to be offered for graduate credit at times convenient to the work schedules of middle and high-school teachers, these courses are taught by science faculty at the College in conjunction with the College's School of Education. Participants also help design Teaching Modules to provide ongoing resource support for the integration of the science into the classroom.  Examples of update courses offered include:

• Endocrine Physiology:  Sex. Food, and Stress
• Neurophysiology and Body Systems
• Insect Biology
• Molecular Biotechnology and Bioinformatics
• Molecular Biotechnology
• Microbiology
• Basic Skills in Field Botany
• Integrative Biology and Physiology

Additional Teacher Resources:

• Materials available for teachers
• New Initiative:  Introducing Biology and Chemistry  into the Secondary School Mathematics Curriculum
