Below is an overview of the general topic of “Genomics” for future biology teachers who are are working toward implementing a “Genomics Unit” in their classrooms.
For that effort to work effectively, “teacher education/training” on the topic of “genomics” will be a critical first step. The items below (and in concert with the “Genomics for Everyone” website: https://genomicsforeveryone.org/ ) will together lay out a solid beginning for:
1) integrating the topic into an existing biology syllabus
2) providing information requisite for teaching genomics in a high school science/STEM biology classroom
