Mission and programs · 2023

• THE BIOTEACH PROGRAM FOCUSES ON STRENGTHENING THE ABILITY OF TEACHERS TO DELIVER LAB-CENTERED, INQUIRY-BASED LESSONS IN BIOTECHNOLOGY IN THEIR CLASSROOMS. THE PROGRAM INTRODUCES TEACHERS TO BASIC CONCEPTS IN BIOLOGY AND BIOTECHNOLOGY WITH SPECIFIC LABORATORY-BASED CURRICULA DESIGNED FOR TEACHING CONCEPTS. THE PROGRAM OFFERS FREE PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT WORKSHOPS FOR EDUCATORS; TRAINING, CURRICULA, AND ON AND OFF-SITE MENTORING TO NEWLY TRAINED TEACHERS; ASSISTANCE TO TEACHERS WITH CONTENT ACQUISITION, PREPARATION AND EXECUTION OF CLASSROOM ACTIVITIES. THE PROGRAM ALSO OFFERS GRANTS FOR LAB EQUIPMENT, SUPPLIES AND MATERIALS. STUDENTS ARE INTRODUCED TO CAREERS THROUGH COLLEGE AND CAREER ENGAGEMENT EXPERIENCES WITH COLLEGES AND COMPANIES AND THROUGH OUR BANK OF VOLUNTEER CAREER AMBASSADORS WHO VISIT SCHOOLS AND MEET WITH STUDENTS REMOTELY AND ON-SITE WHEN POSSIBLE. OUR BIOTEACH PROGRAM HELD 11 TEACHER PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT WORKSHOPS, WITH TOTAL ATTENDANCE OF 182 TEACHERS ACROSS ALL WORKSHOPS. ACROSS ALL BIOTEACH PROGRAMMING, WE ENGAGED NEARLY 14,385 STUDENTS IN AUTHENTIC SCIENCE LEARNING. THE TEACHER TRAININGS WERE VERY SUCCESSFUL WITH OVER 90-95% OF PARTICIPANTS REPORTING AN INCREASE IN CONFIDENCE IN EXECUTING LAB ACTIVITIES IN THEIR CLASSROOM OR REPORTING THAT THEY EXPECT TO UTILIZE THE RESOURCES IN THEIR CLASSROOM. WE WERE ALSO ABLE TO BRING OUR INTENSIVE ACCESS PROGRAM OF AUTHENTIC SCIENCE CONTENT AND CAREER AWARENESS TO OVER 4,500 STUDENTS IN LOW-INCOME AND HIGH-NEED SCHOOL DISTRICTS.

Listed in Part VII

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
