Lucy Atkinson

Since working within the Department of Education and University of York Science Education Group I have enjoyed working across a range of projects. This has included reviewing teacher practice of Best Evidence Science Teaching (BEST), researching, developing and creating interdisciplinary resources for classroom use and supporting the co-creation of resources supporting conversations around climate change and education for sustainability.
