A bit about the Teaching Biology Project

The Teaching Biology Project, part of the Africa Genome Education Institute, ran three in-service teacher training conferences in evolutionary biology in 2009. Each workshop was limited to fifty teachers. They will be running three conferences again in 2010. The aim of the conferences is to improve teachers’ knowledge of evolutionary biology, to allow them to network with teachers from a range of schools, develop resource materials in collaboration with other teachers and to conduct practical assessment tasks that they can do in their own classrooms. We would like teachers to develop their ICT (information computer technology) skills, thus delegates will have access to computer laboratories and assistance and be required to put together lesson plans and assessment tasks using ICT.
