    AP Biology and Pre-AP Biology: Create innovative biology materials based on student data obtained from various assessments such as pre-tests, formative assessments, curriculum based assessments, and benchmarks. Evaluate multiple resources shared during collaborative planning. Find trends in student data and communicate findings to my colleagues and Instructional Coach. Actively seek to enhance instruction by using needs assessments, statistical analysis, and research strategies to improve student performance. Undertakings that I have been a part of include writing biology tests for the district and presenting the updated documents to colleagues, helping at-risk students by teaching a trailer class and Freshman Academy, creating exciting lessons such as walking through 3-D cell, a BYOD cell organelle scavenger hunt, and a forensics investigation that allowed students to apply their understanding of biology. I have also developed and shared instructional materials such as laboratory investigations, presentations, review games and manipulatives, assessments such as benchmarks, and an EOC review.
