We have started our unit of study focusing on Biological Evolution. I like to bring this to the
attention of parents because I know that this subject can conflict with personal/religious beliefs. As a
licensed educator in Ohio, I am required to cover all of the academic content standards as outlined by
our state. Our study of Biological Evolution will cover topics including:
I teach biological evolution through the use of our textbook, scholarly articles, class
notes/discussion, labs, activities and videos. I do not attempt to persuade students in anyway nor do I
try to change their personal beliefs. I present them with the material that has strong scientific evidence
to support it. In a little less than one month, your student will be taking the Biology End Of Course
Exam, in which approximately 25% of the content is related to Biological Evolution, as it is one of the 4
“cornerstones” of high school Biology and I intend to make sure that your student is adequately prepared
for this graduation requirement.
Respectfully,
Samantha Roberts
