Formative Assessments (Additional):

1. Senteo and eInstruction clickers for active participation in class discussion of topics.

2. Small group work with students answering questions from teacher with teacher notes

on ClassDojo or similar system

3. Senteo and eInstruction clickers for quizzes and other assessments during topic

discussion.

Summative Assessment: Cycle Common Assessments using Apperson System

Cycle projects on Cellular Communication, Cellular

Energetics, and Gene Regulation

Additional Considerations:

-Differentiated instruction for different styles including: access to iTunes U lectures

covering materials, Khan Academy reviews of materials, Adaptive Curriculum (if

available.), etc.

-Study Guides aligned with “Need to Knows” to make the content more manageable and

accessible.
