A comprehensive, semester long project creating a life-size shell of the anatomy student from the inside out!
Issues this Best Practice Addresses:
Practice leading to student achievement and student performance
Major Challenges to Implementation:
The only major challenge is the initial cost of the supplies.
Benefits Derived from Implementing this Best Practice:
Students engage in a hands-on creation of a life-size body. As we finish each system of study, students will add various anatomical structures to their bodies. This will allow the students to review classroom content and at the same time strengthen the connection that one human organ system has to another.
Evidence Illustrating Success:
- Increased student achievement
- Decreased need for remediation-this is a built in remediation tool
