Recognizing that there are challenges to encouraging student interest in biological concepts, the NABT BioClub has been formed to support teachers who are interested in starting biology clubs at their schools. The mission of the NABT BioClub is to “recruit, support, nurture, and promote students with an interest in biological sciences.” NABT will help teachers provide activities, resources, and guidance for their students.
There will also be a BioClub Reception during the NABT Professional Development Conference in Memphis (October 15-18, 2008. Go to NABT.org for more information). Sponsored by Carolina Biological Supply, this event is the perfect opportunity to learn more about the great opportunities available for BioClub Faculty Advisors and Teachers.
Twenty-one NABT BioClub chapters have already been formed, and NABT will be welcoming other chapters in the coming academic year. If you are interested in learning more about the NABT BioClubs, please visit NABT BioClub
