Notes on how the curriculum translated into the classroom
Next steps with Build-a-Beast:
- Erin Bentleyrewrite the curriculum to be more accessible to teachers with a general background in microbiology
- Erin Bentleyemail Andy Pannell to see if he would be interested in running the Build-A-Beast class in the Fall
- Andy has already committed to a different class, but suggested another teacher that may be interested. Erin Bentley will email Theresa Williams to see if she is interested in running the class.
- Erin Bentley write up a pre and post assessment that can be given to the students in said class
- Erin Bentley has a potential contact at the middle school in Laramie–my old high school science teacher now teaches 7th grade. I remember her being generally excited about outreach and novel teaching methods so she might be a good contact for this. I'll reach out to her and report back.
- Erin Bentley reach out to Mrs. Baas at the Middle School and see if she would be interested in collaborating
- Report back: Mrs. Baas is very excited to collaborate. Erin Bentley will meet with her sometime next week or the following to discuss possibilities for collaboration.
