While you are working out your high school science curriculum for this coming school year, you should keep in mind those students who you are preparing for college careers. Teachers often lose track of those students who have a bright future ahead of them, letting them get lost in the shuffle of the science education guidelines and making sure that no student is left behind.
What you can do for these students is amazing, and begins with the knowledge that even the smallest skill that prepares them for college life will be a wonderful help, even while they are still in high school! These skills can be mixed in with the science education initiatives easily enough. It just takes an instructor who is willing to go that extra mile in order to give these students the head start that they need.
