Biology Content and Pacing 2011-2012

This document outlines key norms and updates for biology education within our district for the 2011-2012 academic year. It emphasizes collaborative learning, respect, and shared goals among educators. Updates include Pacing Guides, essential lab activities, and resources for the Biology EOC, aligning with benchmark standards. The focus is on inquiry-based, hands-on activities that promote higher-order thinking skills, alongside writing integration in science instruction. Educators are encouraged to reflect on lab activities and apply learned strategies to lesson planning.

  3. Updates • Pacing Guides • All are updated, waiting final posting location • YAAG • Benchmark Review Links • Essential Labs 2.0 are now the H.O.T. Science Labs • Updated to follow new Pacing Guides • Who does not use it? Why? • Suggested changes?

  4. Biology EOC • Biology EOC is based on the course description for Biology 1 • Benchmarks of similar content are grouped together under the AA benchmark • Fair Game Principle applies (all middle school content is expected) • 60-66 MC questions; a periodic table and calculator will be provided • Reporting Categories (clusters) • Item Specifications will be posted very soon on our website…

  5. EOC • http://fcat.fldoe.org/eoc/ • Item Specs (including Biology EOC) • http://fcat.fldoe.org/eoc/itemspecs.asp • Transition Schedule • http://www.fldoe.org/asp/k12memo/pdf/tngcbtf.pdf • Practice Tests • http://www.pearsonaccess.com/cs/Satellite?c=Page&childpagename=Florida/flPALPLayout&cid=1205461226846&pagename=flPALPWrapper • Politics • http://www.flsenate.gov/data/session/2010/senate/bills/billtext/pdf/s0004er.pdf • http://www.fldoe.org/BII/pdf/SB4-Final2.pdf

  6. More News • Strategies for next year: • Inquiry-based, hands-on activities • Implement HOQS to facilitate HOTS • Writing, writing, and writing (in science of course) • Monitor student data (focus in reading performance instead of math)

  7. Q & A • All the answers are below… • http://science.dadeschools.net • http://curriculum.dadeschools.net/ • http://IT.dadeschools.net • http://osi.dadeschools.net

  8. Follow Up • After Day 1: Submit a written reflection on one of the labs performed describing how the lab/lesson will impact your instruction and student understanding of the content. Include copies of the lab performed supporting your reflection. • After Day 2: Develop a full lesson plan incorporating the information learned at the workshop. Make sure to include objectives, essential questions, and benchmark(s)/content addressed.

  9. Thank you
