Teaching a solid understanding of evolution is vitally important, but how do you do that when you feel your own understanding of the topic isn’t so solid?

In this session about teaching and learning evolution, Betha Vazquez of The Teacher Institute for Evolutionary Science (TIES) will share her knowledge and resources with parents and educators; as well as answer questions about evolutionary science.

The Teacher Institute for Evolutionary Science has created a FREE student-guided unit on evolution which covers all of your state’s content standards. Students can follow along on their own or you can guide them. The unit takes students to interactive web pages, online games, videos, and more. This webinar will give you access to all of our free materials, which include a student response sheet, answer key/rubric, and exam. We will also share dozens of other resources, free webinars, etc.
