About Christian

I’m a secondary biology teacher (11–18) with 18+ years in the classroom. I draw on enactive cognitive science – the science of how we make sense and learn in interaction and conversation – to make learning meaningful and lasting. I currently work with mixed-attainment classes at Oak House School, Barcelona.

If you’re a teacher, you’ll find practical classroom moves and a different way of seeing and being in the classroom – one grounded in how meaning actually forms. I’ve published articles in academic journals and three books for teachers.

For general teachers:

• Teaching Meaning: What Works When Telling Isn’t Enough

For biology teachers:

• Difference Maker: Enacting Systems Theory in Biology Teaching
• Biology Made Real: Ways of Teaching that Inspire Meaning Making
