A BRIEF INTRODUCTION TO THE BIO-LINK CURRICULUM SECTION OF THE CLEARINGHOUSE

Welcome to the Curriculum section of the Bio-Link Clearinghouse. This section provides information about what people teach in biotechnology programs. In this site you will find various skill standards documents that outline the technical skills, knowledge, and attributes that are required at the entry-level in the biotechnology work place. For some brief comments about skill standards, click here. This site also contains information on starting new programs. If you would rather look at such resources as laboratory and classroom activities, information on particular biotechnology-related topics, and teaching ideas, then check out the Instructional Materials section. If you are a high school teacher, you might prefer to begin with the "Biotechnology in the High School" Curriculum Page.
