When your students need additional support in biology, chemistry, and physics, you need the Academic Support Program for High School Science. Part of our acclaimed Academic Support Program (ASP) series, this more-than-700-page text is a complete, turnkey solution for high school science classrooms.
Do your students struggle with specific science topics? Are they unresponsive to traditional “skill and drill” or test-prep approaches? We’ve designed the ASP for situations like yours, where you face a diverse mix of students with varied backgrounds and learning styles. Because each instructional unit mixes direct instruction, guided practice, and hands-on work, the ASP is ideal for after-school programs, tutoring, summer school, test prep, credit recovery—even as a complete science course.
The ASP comes in a sturdy, easy-to-use 3-ring binder including:
- More than 100 hours of lessons with reproducible activity sheets
- Inquiry-based lab activities
- Additional activities for hands-on experiences
- Embedded assessments that inform instruction and document achievement
- Daily warm-ups or openers, to begin classes or to make smooth transitions
- A supportive teacher’s guide with:
- Instructions on how to use each component of the program
- Pacing guide options
- Correlations to relevant National Science Education Standards
- Graphic organizers for instructional use
The Academic Support Program for High School Science supports new teachers building a curriculum, as well as established educators looking for additional support.
