This book reaffirms the enduring importance of effective explanations at a time when "teacher talk" is often undervalued. Drawing on the science of learning, Zach Groshell explores essential techniques for showing, telling, demonstrating, modeling, and presenting so that even the most complex concepts become accessible to all learners. Engage with the art and science of "breaking it down" to discover how a direct and explicit approach to teaching can significantly impact classroom success.
