Students are expected to be taking Biology somewhere else (or here on Outschool), and this Study Hall is intended to support that.  Participation in Biology Study Hall should improve a student's performance in their Biology course.  

I am certified to teach Biology in Texas, and Secondary Sciences (middle and high school) in Colorado.  I am also certified as a Special Education Generalist in Colorado, and while I haven't gotten the official stamp on my certificate, I also passed the Colorado Teacher Licensing Exams in Health and Agricultural Education.  I also have experience teaching AP Environmental Science and AP Biology, as well as Introductory Biology, Algebra, Biochemistry, and Chemistry for high school and undergraduate students. 

Homework Offered
As a Study Hall, there is no specific homework other than what is assigned by your instructor.  Occasionally, videos, articles, or other teaching aids may be shared, but viewing them is not mandatory.  
Assessments Offered
The hope is that participation in Biology Study Hall will support a student in their other Biology class.
Grades Offered

If I'm struggling to explain a topic, I often refer to Khan Academy videos, or material available via YouTube.  My primary textbook of reference is BioZone's The Living Earth, but for harder questions, I turn to Campbell & Reece's Biology, or to Google Scholar (i.e., current literature).  When all else fails, students may be referred to their primary Biology Instructor.
