2018 Workshop Talk | 59:20 | 7-12, Science
Summary
Sequencing the material of biology within a historical narrative framework can answer the following questions that all biology teachers struggle with: What does teaching biology classically look like? What do I teach given so much information and so little time? What order should I teach material so that it makes the most sense? Where should evolution fit into the curriculum? How can I teach evolution so that students understand it but don’t lose faith or succumb to simplistic arguments? I will present the framework I use for 9th grade biology and promise to answer these questions.
Speaker
Robbie Andreasen joined the Geneva School faculty in 2007 and teaches biology (ninth grade) and anatomy & physiology (twelfth grade). Robbie has a contagious passion to study the intersection of faith and science and his students have come to expect a challenging, active classroom characterized by their teacher’s love and enthusiasm for learning. This is also true when he teaches Sunday School or gives a children’s homily at his church. Robbie received a BS in marine science and biology from the University of Miami and an MA in bioethics from Trinity Evangelical Divinity School. He was the upper school recipient of the 2013 Paideia Award for Teaching, an award that recognizes excellence in teaching.
