Resources for Teaching High School Biology

About Me

Thoughts. Experiences. Inspiration.

My name is Jane Beebe.  I taught biology for 21 years in Marion County, Florida.  I received a B.S. in Medical Technology from Stetson University in Deland, Florida. My experience in science began in medical technology as a blood bank technologist and clinical microbiologist.  I worked at Georgia Baptist Medical Center in Atlanta, and then later at Smith-Kline in Atlanta.  I loved this work, but I had always wanted to try teaching, so in the 1980’s I made the career switch and never looked back.  I worked for a few years at the middle school level, then switched to high school.  I began with regular level, then taught honors and AP Biology.  Throughout this time, I continued to take classes and trainings in the field of biology to bring the most up to date information to my classroom.  I cannot emphasize enough how important a good foundation in the sciences is for all students.  This foundation helps them to navigate health and environmental issues both personally, and as a citizen.  

I hope that this blog and the lessons I offer on TeachersPayTeachers assist others in providing a good foundation for their students.
