Standards published by the National Association of Biology Teachers (NABT) and the National Science Teachers Association (NSTA) promote to their members the notion of dissection as an indispensable aspect of a biology course.
Key drivers in the perpetuation of this line of thinking are the country’s educational leadership organizations. We are fighting a mindset-and until that mindset changes, true progress will continue to be stymied. The goal of replacing classroom dissection with superior humane scientific methods for all students can only be achieved if the key players in this field are persuaded that doing so is the best course of action.
The BioLEAP Classroom Grant offers awards of up to $1,000 to teachers in the United States who want to implement humane methods in their classrooms. From web-based programs and apps to physical models, teachers can find cost-effective solutions that meet their needs. The humane solutions catalog features effective non-animal alternatives to help teach students valuable skills while they learn about anatomy and physiology.
The BioLEAP Program provides resources to teachers who want to use alternatives to animal specimens such as those used in classroom dissection exercises.
