(Calendar outlines time spent on each topic in detail)
Formative Assessments (Additional): 1. Senteo and einstruction clickers for active participation in class discussion of topics. 2. Small group work with students answering questions from teacher with teacher notes on ClassDojo or similar system 3. Senteo and einstruction clickers for quizzes and other assessments during topic discussion. Summative Assessment: Cycle Common Assessments using Apperson System Cycle projects on Cellular Communication, Cellular Energetics, and Gene Regulation Additional Considerations: -Differentiated instruction for different styles including: access to itunes U lectures covering materials, reviews of materials, Adaptive Curriculum (if available.), etc. -Study Guides aligned with Need to Knows to make the content more manageable and accessible.
