This article provides links to cost-effective and humane alternatives to animal use in the classroom.
BioLEAP (Biology Education Advancement Program) is a comprehensive
educational resource for students who do not wish to take part in classroom
dissection exercises, and for teachers and school districts looking to
introduce dissection alternatives into their curricula. These “alternatives”
are really “advancements” in teaching tools that capitalize on 21st century
technologies that can enhance a student’s understanding of anatomy,
physiology and the life sciences in general.
The following links will provide you with cost-effective and humane
alternatives to animal use in the classroom, as well as provide you with
information about student choice laws and policies that protect students’
rights to use dissection alternatives. Go to the
NAVS PAGE for more information about:
BioLEAP also administers the NAVS Dissection Hotline, the nation’s only
toll-free service (1-800-922-FROG [3764]) providing information, counseling
and support for students, parents and teachers who object to dissection. Any
student, teacher, parent or school district interested in obtaining
information on alternatives to dissection in the classroom is welcome to
call the NAVS Dissection Hotline for help.
Students and educators who object to dissection can make a positive
demonstration of their commitment to learning and fulfilling their academic
requirements in a way that keeps the life in life science.
