The WGBH series "Evolution: A Journey Into Where We're From and Where We Are Going" will spark many conversations about the teaching of evolution in our schools. I have been asked by a local PBS station to share an educator's point of view about this controversy. I am asking for your input. Do you teach evolution every year? Are there situations in which you choose not to teach evolution? Do you discuss "Creationism" in your classroom? Do you feel pressures from ISBE, your school community (including the school board), media, and/or parents to teach evolution, creationism, or both? And, finally, the question that was asked directly to me...If you choose not to teach evolution are you worried that your students will not do well in testing programs (e.g., PSAE, SAT)? Thanks for your thoughtful response to these questions. Be well and enjoy! Kevin Seymour Staff Development Consultant ROE SchoolWorks 200 S.
