As a high school anatomy and physiology teacher, you know it’s crucial to engage your students in critical content early and often. With so much important material to commit to memory, CTE health science students need to start their anatomy and physiology courses off on the right foot.

It’s daunting deciding whether to switch from the healthcare industry to teaching health science full time.
