Junior Cycle science teachers

“Students have a cultural entitlement to physics education led by a teacher with strong subject knowledge, a rich repertoire of teaching approaches and confidence and enthusiasm in the subject.”

Testimonials

Delighted to be part of this IGBI Initiative as I am learning so much and know that my students are benefitting too as a result. I can actually say that I am really enjoying teaching Physics now too due to a better understanding of some of the concepts. What a great initiative that really gets you thinking about Gender Bias in every area of school life!

Junior Cycle Science Teacher

As a science department we have gained a great deal of confidence with Junior Cert physics through our involvement with this project. It has equipped us with the skills needed to develop more inquiry-based learning strategies which is especially useful for the new Junior Cycle.
