Words from Wayne

Are you looking for a high school biology textbook that supports the teacher and promotes student learning? Look no further than Kendall Hunt's "Insights in Biology" textbook. This textbook was ranked #1 for teacher and student educative support in an independent curriculum review funded through the National Science Foundation called "Project Prime".

Insights in Biology by EDC was ranked # 1 and BSCS Biology: "A Human Approach" ranked # 2 out of 8 biology textbooks independently reviewed.

The goal of the study was to determine the biology textbooks  potential for promoting teacher learning. They were also interested in reviewing materials that promote teacher learning as well as student learning.

The materials were graded based on support for the teachers' subject matter knowledge, pedagogical content knowledge for science topics and pedagogical content knowledge for scientific inquiry.
