Product Description
by Michael Chiles (Author)
In The Sweet Spot, Michael Chiles explores the art of teacher explanation and modelling in teaching students what they need to know.
Delving into the research, Michael sets out the reasons why the art of telling and showing students underpin effective teaching and learning.
Armed with research-based evidence, Michael looks at a range of efficient and effective strategies teachers can use in their own classrooms to expertly explain and model their subject.
In the final part of the book, Michael is joined by teachers across the broad range of subjects in the primary and secondary phases to share how they teach one difficult concept within their own subject.
