BioGraph 2.0 - Online Professional Development for High School Biology Teachers for Teaching and Learning About Complex Systems

This project developed and tested an open-access, online system of professional development for high school biology teachers. The purpose of this project was to build pedagogical competencies for teaching about complex systems and to support the application of those competencies in high school biology classrooms. The online teacher professional development (PD) was delivered through the edX open access platform.
