VISION

Our vision is to build a well-organized repository of the most useful scientific visualizations (photos, diagrams, videos, animated simulations) to support molecular literacy in biology education grades 5-12.

MISSION

II. We organize the links by the fundamental concepts and major themes found in the molecular biological sciences.

III. We develop logically coherent and developmentally appropriate learning progressions that serve as a basis for the vertical alignment of topics that build molecular literacy from 5-12.

IV. We network across the State of NC and beyond in a worldwide professional learning community.

V. We provide science teachers with tips and suggestions for use of these visual resources in the classroom.

PEDAGOGICAL VALUES

1. We value developing a supportive collaboration that fosters creativity, innovation and continual growth both as individuals and as a learning community.
   
   
2. We continually share and adopt the latest educational technologies and best practices grounded in educational research and the practicalities of real-world classrooms.
