Today I was interviewed by Robert Pondiscio, who has hosted talks by me before. It will be a while before that article is published, so in the meantime, I thought I would share two media appearances of my new book, Just Tell Them: The Power of Explanations and Explicit Teaching.

1. Just Tell Them: A conversation with Zach Groshell

Holly is doing some fine reporting on educational topics that matter to teachers. I recommend subscribing to her newsletter, The Bell Ringer.

2. Teaching shouldn’t be “Guess What’s In My Head”

Joanne Jacobs does a fabulous job distilling the central argument of the book into a short and sweet blog post. Enjoy!


Book updates: Many schools are asking me about bulk orders so that they can run some book clubs. Contact John Catt from Hodder Education, which also happens to be the sponsor of my podcast, for deals.


Did you know I am the Director of Steplab North America?

As an instructional coach and school leader, I grew tired of bad PD and struggled to embed the ideas of this blog into classrooms. I read the books, I went to the webinars, and I made up my own system by combining a hodgepodge of resources and strategies. I needed a better approach if I was going to make real and sustainable changes. Since all anyone was talking about was Steplab, I got set up with an account and it immediately streamlined my coaching. It scaffolded my feedback with teachers, and enabled peer observation, targeted PLCs, and evidence-based whole school PD. Now, as the Director of Steplab North America, I want to invite you to join over 14,000 schools and 100,000 educators who are using Steplab.
