Dr Jared Carpendale from Massey University unpacks how Content Representations (CoRe) support out-of-field teachers of physics, and other areas of science. We talkabout the origins of CoRe, how it works in practice, and why collaborative design with in-field colleagues transforms confidence, content knowledge, and classroom strategies.
