Models for teaching biology to students aged 11–14
Unlike many slide decks, the models I share aren’t to be presented or delivered, but co-constructed, step by step; a teaching method I explain in my books, Difference Maker and Teaching Meaning. What are the benefits of a community of teachers sharing our models?
- We gain teaching capacity: combining professional coordination with teaching autonomy.
- We have a lighter workload: our planning only involves understanding and adapting models.
- Our students learn more: they reap the benefits of teaching without PowerPoint slides.
