Tarea
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.
Evaluación
The hope is that participation in Biology Study Hall will support a student in their other Biology class.

Experiencia de clase

Grado de EE. UU. 7 - 10
This is the Outschool equivalent of a regular, after-school study hall for Biology, where peers and a competent tutor are together for an hour at a time, able to explain and encourage one another in the pursuit of Biological Sciences.  

We meet once a week.  The expectation is that students who join this study hall are enrolled in an Introductory Biology course elsewhere (including Honors or Pre-AP Biology), online or in-person, and need a bit more support.  Some students benefit purely from setting aside time each week for Biology - you don't actually need to talk to anyone to benefit from attending Study Hall.  Other students are acing their coursework but need more time to ponder why we care.  That said, I've taught and tutored Biology for decades, from elementary summer camps to introductory college courses, from remedial test prep to AP Biology and Environmental Science, and I'm ready to answer questions, lead discussions, and generally appreciate Biology.  Besides meeting together weekly, students will have access to the online classroom, as well, if questions arise outside our regular sessions.  

Students are expected to work on Biology assignments or participate in discussions during the hour-long sessions.  As an experienced tutor, I can generate relevant practice problems as needed.  Everyone will have an opportunity to ask questions, though students with greater needs may be encouraged to sign up for independent study.  Basically, this is the online equivalent of an after school study hall session focused on Introductory Biology.

What to Expect: 
Each session will start out with introductions and news - I like to ask new students about their Biology course: format, timing, and so forth.  (Save time by sharing this info in the forum!)  Student questions are encouraged and prioritized, so we'll figure out a rough order of who is going first or next.  (I generally answer questions in a first-come-first-served manner, unless someone is unduly stressed or has a looming deadline - but we can get through quite a bit of material in an hour!). If we run out of student questions, I may reference local or global news when it's related to life sciences.  Finally, we'll have a Topic of the Week to explore, if we run out of timely material.

Metas de aprendizaje

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.

Orientación para padres
My background is in science and science education. Evolution, including that of humans, is accepted as fact, both in this course and by scientists in general. This club does not specifically cover human anatomy or sex education, but these subjects are commonly featured in Introductory Biology. In this club, sexual reproduction is not shied away from, and I will answer questions that arise as truthfully (and age-appropriately) as possible. We also assume that climate change is real and is anthropogenic (human-caused). Oh, yeah, and the Earth is approximately 4.6 billion years old. Note: I say evolution and climate change are accepted as facts, but I am certainly happy to discuss WHY these are accepted as facts, and how we came to dismiss alternate explanations. Science is an iterative process, constantly trying to improve itself and its accuracy, and evolution is one of the most supported theories in the world of science today.
Recursos externos
Los estudiantes no necesitarán utilizar ninguna aplicación o sitio web más allá de las herramientas estándar de Outschool.
Fuentes
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.

Experiencia y certificaciones del docente
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.
