Teaching living systems with students
Rarely have I been so convinced by the power of a new theoretical underpinning for a pedagogical technique such as the one presented here. School Science Review, Issue 393.
Difference Maker reveals how to teach biology with students rather than merely teach to them. Without slides or worksheets, it shows how to provoke understanding through diagrams and dialogue – bringing forth a distinct teaching approach.
- Detailed examples of real lessons.
- A theory-informed guide for planning explanations.
- A theory-informed guide for co-constructing stock and flow diagrams with students.
- A new model of curricular content: metacontent.
A way of seeing and being. Rather than a training manual with activities to follow, this book provides teachers with a new conception of teaching, learning, and acting together in the classroom. The novel insights of Difference Maker will inevitably change your perception.
