The National Association of Biology Teaching adopted this position statement in 2003, last revised 2009. The statement supports gender-inclusive biology teaching through two key points:
“We have a fundamental, active, and obligatory role in creating, ensuring, and promoting meaningful education environments that reflect the full spectrum of human dimensions so that diversity, unity, and equity are able to flourish in science education.”
“Diversity contributes to the richness of biological science understanding and ways of knowing, enhances our educational and scientific discourse, [and] places historical, cultural, and philosophical frames of reference in context.”
