Professional Development

Join our Teacher Community

BABEC provides a wide variety of professional development opportunities throughout the year. All of our workshops and training sessions support teachers in implementing our NGSS-aligned lessons and hands-on lab activities in their classrooms.

Emerging Program Support

Designed for teachers hoping to bring hands on Biotech labs to their Biology, Living Earth or General Science classrooms. For those unfamiliar with Biotech labs this often includes after school small group sessions or one on one sessions. Contact our program manager [email protected] to learn more. 

Emerging Teachers: 

  • Teachers who are new to biotech labs
  • Teachers who teach Biology/Living Earth classes
  • Small group sessions, 1:1 sessions and Saturday workshops 

Exploring Program Support

For established or developing Biotech programs looking to expand their hands on lab offerings for their students.  As this often includes sequential labs these sessions typically happen during a Saturday workshop though could be done in small groups or one on one after school as well.  Contact our program manager [email protected] to learn more.

Exploring Teachers: 

  • Teachers who are experienced teaching biotech labs
  • Teachers who teach Biotechnology or AP Biology
  • Small group sessions, 1:1 sessions and Saturday workshops

All Babec labs are well organised and modelled effectively with clear, helpful procedural instructions, easily transposed to the classroom.

The online resources are SO well done! The best I have ever had. Very little modification to make them clear and easy to follow. I have done two BABEC lessons and they are so well made that they made teaching online fun again.

When doing the BABEC labs I consistently hear students say they feel like "real scientists."

Well organized and scaffolded; flexible structure and can be used partially or as a whole. This unit can be used as is...superbly written and thought out...incorporates many skills and allows student collaboration and student choice/voice.

Thank you for creating these curriculum materials. I am beyond grateful for the quality lessons, on-the-point figures/videos, and easy-to-navigate biotechnology curriculum.

The level of support really made the whole process easier and encouraged me to continue incorporating biotech into my curriculum. Thank you for the live assistance during the labs and for responding to inquiries so promptly and with such urgency.

Really well thought out curricula. Great to see "old" activities that have been re-imagined with lots of consideration to NGSS.
