Secondary Science Simplified™

Oh Rebecca. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Your material on TPT, your kind words, your expertise, your insights, and your creativity have been my professional development and total teacher cheat code for leveling up my classroom and my life. You have taught me and guided me through some very tricky bits. For any science teacher looking for solid guidance to fit into their drive to school and back again, this podcast is just the BEST.

I love love love this podcast! I cannot recommend Rebecca’s words and wisdom to my colleagues enough!! Rebecca shares so much incredible insight into teaching. And it is not all about science. I’m a math teacher and learn so much from these episodes, whether they are about science or not. After 14 years of teaching Probability and Statistics, my school gave me AP Statistics to teach. AP yikes! My friend recommended this podcast to me, specifically Rebecca’s episode on being authentic and genuine and honest with students. I know Stats pretty well honestly but adding in the demands of AP was intimidating. But this podcast really encouraged me. And now I’m hooked! Rebecca shares her experiences and wisdom with compassion, humility, and passion. You can tell she cares about students as well as teachers! Y’all we CAN be teachers and also have a full life outside of school. And Rebecca shares how! 💗💗💗

I am going to be a first year science teacher fresh out of college and I have been so worried about where to start, what to teach, etc. and most teachers online are elementary. Yes I love a cute classroom but what I love more is people like her who are here to share all the tips and tricks for the secondary level. I’m so thankful to come across this podcast and I hope to be able to afford the curriculum some day.

I found this podcast after buying the It’s Not Rocket Science Biology Curriculum. My students and I had such a great year and I believe it was largely due to the way the curriculum and activities/labs were created. My students were ENGAGED and LEARNING! It was so rewarding to look out and see them actively working vs. my first year where they were just kindly listening to lectures (trying to stay awake) after I spent my evenings pouring over a textbook and creating slides. It was exhausting! I am so thankful that I found these resources and I think my students were too!
