I am currently teaching Biotechnology and Advanced Biotechnology at the High School level. I am interested in working together with other schools and business. I am also interested in any funding that might be available for my program. This is a brand new program in my district and several companies have gone out of business due to the economy. Field trips are hard to come by. I am looking into building a green house and growing our plants for testing. A small part of the curriculum. Setting up a new lab is not cheap and doing the research costs money. So any information leading to grants or additional funding would be greatly appreciated.

I have been with the district 11 years and this is my 6th year teaching. I have taught Science & Engineering and this is my 1st year teaching Biotechnology. I am very excited about bringing this area to my students and look forward to working with the local Community College in hopes they will adopt this program. I am currently using Austin CC curriculum.
