AP Bio teachers from Bellevue High, Newport, Interlake, and Sammamish want to meet on the DDPD days to discuss test score data from our common assessment (Cellular Respiration/Cell Energetics) that was given as part of our College in the High School program for Bellevue College. We will also include this topic from the 2025 AP Biology Exam administration and work on some strategies to address areas from growth and examine the recent curricular changes and modify lessons/assessments to reflect the changes. We will identify patterns in student responses relate to specific parts of cellular respiration process and data interpretation. We will also examine changes in the Ap Biology objectives as recently published by the College Board and address any need modifications to current lessons and assessments.
