  • Such practical tips!

    I recently bought the it’s not rocket science anatomy curriculum and love it. I then learned of the podcast and have enjoyed many practical tips even as a teacher with a decade of experience. I am grateful for the podcast and the practical thoughts, tips, and encouragement described in a way that is easy to implement.

  • Highly recommend

    This podcast has the best tips, tricks, and encouragement for secondary science teachers. I love INRS’s resources on TPT and this one is just as great. I often share with my science department when episodes relate to other subjects too.

  • Great tips even at 15+ years

    I’ve been teaching since 2005; much of it was ag as an elective—not state tested Biology. Rebecca has great tips for all levels of teaching experiences. I’ve been listening for a year because my principal bought me one of her curriculums. This summer I’m binging the pod and preparing to use her 2nd curriculum next year! So great!!

  • Fantastic resource for all science teachers!

    I’ve been using INRS resources for years, but have just recently found this podcast. Every episode contains tips and strategies that can be immediately implemented in your class. It’s a must listen every week and I’ve already recommended it to coworkers.
