Alabama Curriculum Development & Testing Project

The Smithsonian Institution seeks Alabama high school biology teachers to earn up to $1,000 by implementing exciting new Unity and Diversity curriculum materials!

Teach using human or non-human examples with lessons specifically designed for Alabama classrooms or with your own materials.

The 5 year National Science Foundation (NSF)-funded Learning Unity and Diversity in Alabama (LUDA) project led by the Smithsonian Institution is focused on developing and investigating the effectiveness of: 1) data-driven, real world examples of human and non-human case studies to teach basic evolution concepts in introductory high school biology classes, and 2) cultural and religious sensitivity (CRS) teaching strategies to address cultural and religious concerns related to teaching evolution. This project builds on a recent 3-year NSF-funded project creating similar materials for AP Biology in which human-focused teaching materials were successful in increasing students’ understanding, acceptance, and motivation to learn evolution while creating a supportive classroom environment for learning evolution. These materials have received excellent reviews from Alabama teachers and strong results for Alabama students, and have already been field tested and refined by 14 Alabama teachers during the 2017-2018 and 2018-2019 school years.

We are inviting introductory biology teachers in Alabama to collaborate with us in implementing a Unity and Diversity curriculum unit and CRS resource in the 2019-2020 school year. Read the entire teacher recruitment letter here and apply online by Friday May 24 here.
