Biodiversity Professional Development Materials
Biodiversity: Research Teaching Materials Assessment Materials
Scientist Steve Hamilton talks with K-12 teachers during a professional development activity at Kellogg Biological Station.
Professional development materials were developed and used with K-12 teachers in California, Colorado, Maryland, and Michigan from 2008-2013. These materials are directed at both content knowledge and pedagogy, with materials focusing on how to use learning progressions while teaching about biodiversity in the classroom.
