Awakening interest in the natural sciences I have had a particular interest in exploring new ways of teaching science to school children in lower and middle school. I have worked on finding simple but effective and engaging ways to awaken children's interest in science. Further training for teachers After teaching for 20 years, I had the opportunity to contribute to the continuing professional development of teachers. I developed a series of courses called “Concrete Techniques for Teaching the Natural Sciences”. I offered them, for a few years, at one school. Subsequently I was offered a position at the Institute of Education, Stockholm, where I was eventually promoted to Senior Lecturer. Books During my teaching career, I have written nine books, including textbooks, information (non fiction) books and teachers' guides. |
