I’m Barry McGettigan, teaching in the classroom for over 30 years.
I’ve worked in education my entire career, first at the third level (in computer-aided learning) and then at second level (science, computing, and guidance counselling).
I’ve a B.Sc in Microbiology and Biochemistry and a M.Sc in Structural Biology.
Are you where I was when I first started teaching?
Overwhelmed with the thought of creating lesson plans for every subject? That was me back then as well.
Now? Well, now I…wait for it… I actually enjoy creating lesson plans! I love the design process of making science lessons come alive, especially the tricky lessons that can be hard to grasp. It’s great to see students engaged, actively learning, and loving science!
The upside is that my classroom-tested lessons save you hundreds of hours of prep time, so you can relax and teach knowing that you’ll be a rockstar teacher!
I'm a published author of 2 classroom text books. I loved the process of writing. The discipline of writing has served me well over the years especially in designing lesson plans.
I make restaurant quality pizza. It took me ages to perfect this. I'll let you into a secret. The single most important ingredient in a pizza is heat. Conventional ovens just can't cut it, that's why pizza comes out dry in a normal oven. You need a dedicated pizza oven (I use a Ferrari oven that I got from Amazon). It cooks pizza in three minutes.
