The Teacher Institute for Evolutionary Science (TIES) was founded to provide teachers with content and engaging resources to teach evolution in an effective and respectful way. Now with downloadable units that meet every state's evolution standards, TIES offers formidable resources for teaching evolution online. TIES Director Bertha Vazquez joins us to discuss how science teachers can access their powerful resources, tap into their training, and use their support to address critics of evolution. About Our Guest - Bertha Vazquez is a middle school science teacher in Miami-Dade County, and is the founder and director of the Teacher Institute for Evolutionary Science. https://laboutloud.com/?p=5400

As science standards across the country improve to include middle school standards on evolution, more and more teachers are teaching evolution for the first time and the battle to teach sound science moves into the individual classrooms themselves. The Teacher Institute for Evolutionary Science (TIES) is a program of the Center for Inquiry. TIES seeks to helps teachers teach evolution by providing them with the content and resources to do so effectively. In just three and a half years, TIES has grown from a powerful idea shared by Richard Dawkins and Bertha Vazquez to a network of over fifty teachers who have presented over 100 professional development workshops in over 40 states. TIES Director Bertha Vazquez has been teaching middle school science in Miami-Dade County Public Schools for 27 years. An educator with National Board Certification, she is the recipient of several national and local honors, including the 2014 Samsung’s $150,000 Solve For Tomorrow Contest and the $5,000 Charles C. Bartlett National Excellence in Environmental Award in 2009. Bertha sits down with one of Point of Inquiry's new hosts, Jim Underdown, to talk about her experiences with teaching science and evolution in the classroom, meeting Richard Dawkins, and her favorite TIES moment.

John is the Eugene McDermott Master Teaching Chair in Science at St. Mark's School of Texas, in Dallas, Texas. John is a biology teacher, science communicator, and a nature photographer fascinated by Human origins, evolution, and microscopic organisms. In 2015, John traveled to the Evolutionary Studies Institute (ESI) at the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, South Africa where he learned about the Rising Star Cave who discovered and recovered a huge collection of hominin fossil bones. John was also able to record and post video interviews with members of Rising Star Team to document their experiences. On March 7, as part of The Teacher Institute for Evolutionary Science (TIES), John will share his experience getting to know and work with the Rising Star Cave team and detailing the once-in-a-lifetime experience of how these new fossils were recovered and studied. In 2017, John began writing posts for the National Geographic’s Education Blog. You can follow John on twitter @Evo_Explorer and @BlueLionPhotos.
