CP Biology
In Co-taught Biology we are going to take a new approach to our Biology curriculum through a human perspective to understand how life truly works for YOU as a human being. We will use a hybrid or rotational model of teaching that involves small groups moving through different modes of instruction (individual, cooperative, and direct) in order to acquire new information, make meaning of it together, and transfer learning to real-world contexts.
