About me
My research interests include school science curriculum development, effective formative and summative assessment, scientific literacy, student engagement with science, and teaching of difficult ideas in biology. I have extensive experience in the development of school science curricula, assessments, and teaching and learning resources for students aged 11-18. I am the lead biologist for two large, research-informed curriculum development projects: Best Evidence Science Teaching (BEST) for 11-14 year-olds, and the Practical Assessment in School Science (PASS) project.
