Lesson Matrix

The partners of the SESB conducted focus groups with life science teachers who provided input on standards-based science concepts that are "difficult to teach" and/or "difficult to learn". Their feedback and comments have informed the lessons for the SESB and are included on the SESB lesson matrix. Once interested parties are indentified they will be given the lesson matrix, this document includes more details about the lessons below.

Both the teachers and guest speakers will identify the topics they would like to co-teach and will be match based on that interest.
