Why be a BioEYES Model Teacher?

• Model Teachers have much greater scheduling flexibility. The BioEYES Outreach Educators' schedules tend to fill up fast, but a Model Teacher can have many more weeks to choose from.
  

• They can tailor the curriculum to their students. While the BioEYES curriculum is designed to meet local and national standards and BioEYES Outreach Educators are trained to work with a wide variety of students, teachers know their own classes better than we ever could. Being a Model Teacher provides teachers the opportunity to customize our standard curriculum to better meet the specific needs of their individual classes.
  

• It is much more cost-effective. Our program is primarily grant-funded, allowing us to bring the program to many locations at no cost to the school. Unfortunately, the grants do not necessarily cover all school districts. For interested schools not covered by a grant, having teachers trained as Model Teachers can be a much more affordable way to bring BioEYES into their classrooms.

How to become a Model Teacher

The ideal track for a model teacher candidate is to receive the program from the BioEYES Outreach Educator their first year, co-teach with the Educator the second year, and become a full Model Teacher the third year. All teachers must attend a Model Teacher training that goes into the specifics of the BioEYES program in far more depth than our standard teacher trainings.
