I have taught Biology in Flordia and Ohio and my students need to take state exams as a graduation requirement. Therefore, I like to break down the biology targets per unit according to our state proficiency guidelines. That way the students know exactly what they need to know to score proficient and pass the state exam. I then give each of my students this sheet at the beginning of the year, so they can use it as a checklist as we move through the units. It is also used for review at midterm a

Great way to pace yourself throughout the year. I use this simple Pacing Guide to help me stay on not run into timing issue as I move through the year. Sometime I have to extend or reduce the initial time I set, but using this Pacing Guide keeps me organized and on track throughout the year.

Take your teaching, school and career to the next level with this brain-based research presentation for your next Professional Development day. This Google slide deck explains the latest brain-based learning and multimedia design theory, to help educators design and develop lessons that will better facilitate learning. Each slide has presenter notes associated with slide visuals, because talking over visuals triggers both auditory and visual learning pathways, thus improving learnability. I hav

This Google Form covers the Anthropocene and how humans are impacting the Earth. There are 4 Sections. Each section contains a video and questions to answer pertaining to the video. This content standard was added by many states, including my state of Ohio, in 2018, to the Biology state standards and helps you cover this standard with minimal effort on your part.
