Mr D Goodman CTeach @mrgoodmanbio.bsky.social · 16/01/2025I have only worked in linear, but as a student I actively preferred modular. It gave me more agency in my results and I think that was a good thing. More focus on what I needed to do backed up by the exam results, rather than now which students are more disagreeable with staff opinion 110
Mr D Goodman CTeach @mrgoodmanbio.bsky.social · 23/12/2024In a slightly bittersweet situation, due to my promotion, my job has become available for someone new. The school is lovely, the students are lovely and the staff are incredible.

Mr D Goodman CTeach @mrgoodmanbio.bsky.social · 24/09/2024I can’t say I’ve got lots on neuronal, I’m spending a lot of time with content content content in this module at KS5 - but at GCSE I will get them to use the classic speed question to try and work out the pace of a neuronal message. Then ask why it’s slower than the real value 230

Mr D Goodman CTeach @mrgoodmanbio.bsky.social · 17/09/2024This is a big question… short answer is I don’t. Not cutting edge research that I could read in nature etc - I skim each issue of biological sciences review for relevant info to share with students but that’s about it 110
