SITE Biology
The SITE Biology effort was a five-day institute that focused on selected elements of the North Carolina Standard Course of Study for Biology. It addressed critical areas recommended by the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction. These areas included: content, misconceptions, and instructional strategies designed to improve student achievement. Other foci were embedding literacy into instruction and using concept maps and other strategies for assessment purposes. This opportunity was offered through the North Carolina Mathematics and Science Education Network (NC-MSEN) Statewide Institutes for Teaching Excellence in cooperation with the NC Department of Public Instruction.
