BEN Pathway II

NSDL生物科学途径II（BEN）的活动包括：重新设计门户网站，突出数字资源，在大学介绍生物学课程和AP生物学课程在初中/高中水平有用;开发和实施教师测试程序，以检查生物科学数字教育资源对学生学习的影响;增加BEN教师学者的数量，促进在生物科学课堂上使用数字资源。教师测试员报告的信息包含在一个名为生物科学数字教室的博客中。BEN Pathway是专业协会或联盟的催化剂，旨在促进高等教育机构和初中/高中生物科学教学的变化。该项目的重点是改进课程、教学法和学生评估。BEN途径目前为26个组织提供服务和活动，包括将合作者的资源聚合到一个门户网站，并提供开发，传播和维持高质量数字教育资源的服务。该项目解决了为生物科学教育领导者提供指导和专业发展的需要，并通过评估其对学生学习的影响来促进使用数字资源的实践。

The NSDL Biological Sciences Pathway II (BEN) activities include: Redesigning the portal web site to highlight digital resources that are useful in college introductory biology courses and AP biology courses at the middle/high school level; Developing and implementing a Faculty Tester Program to examine the impact of biological sciences digital education resources on student learning; Increasing the number of BEN Faculty Scholars who promote the use of digital resources in the biological sciences classroom. Information reported by Faculty Testers is included in a blog called The Biological Sciences Digital Classroom. The BEN Pathway serves as a catalyst for professional societies or coalitions that seek to foster a change in biological sciences teaching at higher education institutions and at the middle/high school levels. The project focuses on improving curriculum, pedagogy, and student assessment. The BEN Pathway currently provides services and activities for 26 organizations, including aggregating the resources of collaborators into a portal and providing services to develop, disseminate, and sustain high quality digital education resources. This project addresses the need to provide mentoring and professional development for biological sciences education leaders and fosters the practice of using digital resources by assessing their impact on student learning.
