Supporting Document Component

  • The course design supports the AP Biology Curriculum Framework. The content focuses on living systems and their connections to everyday life. The curriculum framework provides students with the opportunities to investigate the practical application of biology as well as the connections to other natural, human, and social sciences. Through inquiry-based activities and laboratory investigations, students explore the components of life, from molecules to ecosystems.
  • No documents to display.
  • If it has been determined by the student's IEP Team or Section 504 Committee that the student qualifies as a student with a disability under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act ("IDEA") or Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act ("Section 504"), either an IEP or a Section 504 Plan will be developed for the student. While the School remains the local educational agency ("LEA") and is responsible for providing all direct services, they will upload a copy of the plan and Pearson teachers shall review the IEPs and Section 504 Plans in order to implement the appropriate portions of the document in the online setting.
