Who Should Use Yeti Sports Med?
The Yeti Academy Sports Med curriculum is designed as a biology enrichment. You can use it for elective classes, career and technical education, summer enrichment, or even for after-school programming.
Sports Med is a great curriculum for any class format, whether students are fully remote, fully in class, or in a hybrid classroom. All Yeti Academy modules are tech-based and designed to work well anywhere there is internet access.
Yeti Academy curriculum is also a great choice for educators looking for more differentiated instruction and learning. Each lesson includes seven learning modalities to ensure students can learn in whatever format works best. We include enrichment activities for early lesson finishers.
Best of all, Sports Med and other Yeti courses make it easy for instruction to continue during teacher absences. Substitute teachers can easily find what they need and keep students engaged in their lessons with minimal prep time.
This curriculum is great for both students who love science and students who need more time to take in the material. Sports Med provides plenty of opportunities for discovery and practice, no matter where a student is in their learning journey. We reinforce key topics from core science courses while also opening doors to new material.
As students dive deeper into life science ideas and concepts, they develop confidence they can carry with them into future science courses.
