I was recently invited to develop content for a course on explanations for InnerDrive’s CPD Academy. There are some previews that are available to you now to give you a taste. The course content largely follows the flow of my book and my workshops on modeling and explicit instruction.
Explain with Visuals
Explain with Examples
Explain and Release
Book Updates
My new book, Just Tell Them, is available now on Amazon. Contact John Catt, which also happens to be the sponsor of my podcast, for deals on bulk orders for your school. Check out some of the reviews of the book, below.
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!
3. Knowledge-rich curriculum and direct instruction depend upon each other
Daniel Buck suggests that Just Tell Them is a good companion to Hirsch’s latest book, since it does the work of describing how to teach knowledge more efficiently. I wrote a blog about this idea here.
Did you know I am 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 as the solution to their coaching struggles. We know sit-and-get PD doesn’t necessarily lead to changes in the classrooms. We know that job-embedded feedback is better than abstract or theoretical discussions around a PowerPoint presentation. Instructional coaching has the ingredients to improve teaching fast but only if it is effective. Sign up for a demo, or read this blog I wrote, and you’ll see how our tools organize, scaffold, and supercharge coaching based on the science of how kids learn.
