In the Multicultural and School to Career goal columns, the G stands for the Glencoe Biology teachers edition textbook; and the H stands for the Holt Applied Biology teachers edition textbook. You will find information/activities on the pages listed that will help support the multicultural and school to career objectives. These are just a sample of what can be incorporated into the curriculum. Additional materials can also be found in the Glencoe S.T.C., and the Tech-Prep Application manual; and in the Holt Biotechnology supplemental materials.
