We provide in-person and web-based education and resources for teachers, students, and the general public—all designed to improve science teaching and learning, while promoting science skills and literacy, and general understanding of clinical and basic biomedical research.
The Center for Educational Outreach offers educational programs leading towards careers in medicine and the health sciences, beginning at the middle and high school levels through undergraduate degrees and, depending upon academic requirements, entry into medical school.
BioEd Online and SuperSTAAR are dynamic online educational resources that provide science teachers with online courses, streaming video presentations, teaching slide sets, inquiry-based classroom activities and complete teaching resources. (PreK through Grade 12)
BioEd teacher resources and materials from the Center for Educational Outreach offer an integrated, hands-on approach to teaching science, technology, engineering and mathematics. Each inquiry-based unit is aligned with national and state science education standards. Several units also contain integrated reading components.
The center’s professional development workshops provide learning experiences, where educators earn CEUs through face-to-face workshops or online courses. Workshops and topic series can be tailored to meet the needs and requirements of individual schools or school districts.
