On today’s podcast I have an icon of progressive science pedagogy from the UK –Adam Robbins. Adam is a well-respected and knowledgeable practitioner, who for 20+ years has been committed to understanding how students learn most effectively, especially in science. He has held many different roles in schools, is a published author and is one of the founding members of the active science teaching group ‘cogscisci’. Adam regularly contributes thoughtful ideas to help teachers across the UK and beyond deliver our jam-packed science curriculum.
