CHADRON, Neb. (AP) — Two Chadron State College science professors were among about 500 teachers, administrators and researchers who recently spent two days in Washington, D.C., seeking ways to improve how biology is taught.
Joyce Hardy and Ann Buchmann were invited to the conference sponsored by the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the National Science Foundation, the National Institute of Health and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute.
Hardy said one of the themes was that the biology of today is not your grandfather’s biology, so it shouldn’t be taught the same way as it was taught years ago.
The CSC professors said the group facilitators will draw up a list of conclusions from the work sessions and send them to the participants for their review. The final recommendations are expected by early in 2010.
