Hello High School Biology Teachers, In a previous message, I described a biotechnology course that I will be offering for CPS high school teachers this fall. My message stated that teachers must sign up for Lane Promotional Credit. I have recently been informed that teachers who do not wish to get Lane credit could attend the course to exclusively receive CEUs from the ISBE (our program is an approved provider). These teachers would not need to register through Teachers Academy, but MUST contact me prior to the first class to check if there is room in the class (enrollment is limited to 26). Brief details regarding the class are noted below. The course, entitled "Bringing Biotechnology to Your High School Classroom", will be held on three Saturdays, Sept. 22, Oct. 20, and Nov. 17 from 8:00am - 1:00pm at Whitney Young High School. The course will feature hands-on laboratory activities appropriate for high school classes. Laboratories will include DNA extraction, antibiotic screening of bacteria, transformation of bacteria, and analysis of DNA using agarose gel electrophoresis. Teachers who successfully complete the course will receive 3 CEUs. Please let me know if you have any questions regarding the course. Peace, Carolyn Zanta ************************************************************ Carolyn A.
