Genetics for All
Genetics for All

This paper highlights learning supports associated with genetics lessons that were implemented in a urban high school biology classroom. The supports provided access to science content for ELs, students with IEPs, and struggling readers during an introductory unit on genetics. Due to space constraints, this paper does not include all assignments from the unit, but instead provides a sample of instructional approaches to promote success among all science students.

I was really intrested in how to make this assignment more inclusive for students with a lower reading level. Science can have a lot of confusing words especually genetics. This artical did a great job in connecting genetics to something that the students can picture (the car). I'm sure this connection would have helped me comprehend the subject better back in the day.
