Assessments will be given as an indication of how well a student is learning the content and skills for the class and to help me continuously develop a better curriculum. Students will be assigned a number on a proficiency scale* that lets the student, parent, and teacher know how the student is doing. Each assignment will have a rubric attached to it letting the student, parent, and teacher know the expectations for the assessment. Assessments may be multiple choice, free response, modeling, or many other types. Most assessments will be taken in class, but some may be at-home projects. Assessment retakes and/or revisions will be provided and encouraged. *See Grading Policy for our Proficiency ScaleExperiencia de clase

*Students DO NOT need to take quarter classes in order* Structure of the Class: In my dynamic classroom, students dive into a myriad of learning experiences, from live debates and hands-on projects to intriguing educational escape rooms and enlightening lab sessions. But it doesn't stop there - we also incorporate games and direct instruction to ensure a well-rounded education. Each live session comes equipped with a set of slides and activity guidelines, readily accessible for students during and post-class. Plus, I've got a slew of videos and resources at the ready to shed light on those trickier concepts and deepen your background knowledge. Student Requirements: Students will be required to keep their cameras turned on during class. This allows me to better interact with students and helps them to interact with their peers. My Teaching Style: My mission is to ignite a spark of scientific curiosity in my students, fostering lifelong learners who are scientifically savvy. I pour my energy into crafting lessons that aren't just informative, but also a whole lot of fun, ensuring students genuinely relish the learning journey. I'm a firm believer in connecting classroom knowledge to real-world experiences, encouraging students to view their surroundings through an exploratory lens. Prior Knowledge: Students will not be required to have any prior knowledge of life science to participate in this course. *Students DO NOT need to take quarter classes in order*
