A2.1 IB DP Biology - Critical Thinking with AI CER
This assignment develops IB Diploma students’ Claim–Evidence–Reasoning (CER) skills by combining IB Biology A2.1 content with critical thinking and evaluation of evidence. Students use either: An AI tool of their choice (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, etc.), or Raina in Magic School (preloaded prompts provided in the teacher version), to generate claims and reasons for one of the eight A2.1 objectives about the origins of life (e.g., Miller–Urey experiment, RNA world hypothesis, LUCA, hydrothermal

Teaching style
My teaching style emphasizes competency-based learning, inquiry, and critical thinking.
I design lessons that help students connect concepts across disciplines, develop strong lab and research skills, and build confidence in applying science to real-world issues.
Many of my materials are scaffolded to support diverse learners while also providing extensions to challenge advanced students.

My own education history
B.Sc. in Biology
B.Ed. with a specialization in Secondary Science Education
Ongoing professional development through IB workshops, inquiry-based science training, and sustainability education programs. Completed by Bachelor's degree in Biology (major in Genetics and Minor in Ecology) at SFU in 2001 and earned my teaching certification also from SFU in 2002. After almost 10 years of teaching I returned in 2011 and completed a Master's Diploma in Education focused on the use of technology in the classroom.
Additional biographical information
I am a naturally reflective person who enjoys organization and challenges. It is these skills that have driven my exploration of how to best assess and educate tomorrow's scientists.
I am driven by the goal that my courses can meet all students and their diverse learning and achieve a sense to success for them all. Through self-reflection, feedback, opportunities and assessments, students are challenged to communicate their knowledge, use evidence to support their ideas, ask questions and design procedures to test them, critically thing when doing analysis or evaluation of both data and resources, and to apply their knowledge to ethics and perspectives about our world.
Beyond the classroom, I coordinate greenhouse and pollinator programs, student sustainability initiatives, and international field experiences. These projects shape my TPT resources to be practical, innovative, and directly connected to real-world science.
TPT is the largest marketplace for PreK-12 resources, powered by a community of educators.
