Professional development programs that update K-16 teachers' expertise in bioscience and health topics as well as prepare them to implement the materials on our websites. See a list of upcoming courses and workshops on Teach.Genetics. Community programs that engage with diverse communities in discussions about genetics and health, and in developing culturally and linguistically-appropriate educational materials. Our educational resources provide accurate and unbiased information about topics in genetics, bioscience and health. Designed for non-research audiences, they are jargon-free, target multiple learning styles, and often convey concepts through animation and interactivity. Our newest materials are being developed with our Exploragraphic? design methodology. |
