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.

Reviews for Just Tell Them: The Power of Explanations and Explicit Teaching

Zach offers both new and experienced teachers clear explanations and examples of the most relevant research on explicit instruction. New teachers will find his insights invaluable, especially when seeking ""permission"" to move away, without guilt, from methods they instinctively know are ineffective. For experienced teachers, Zach provides deeper explanations and practical tips to enhance their effectiveness. True to his approach, Zach includes examples and non-examples that bring his points into sharp focus. It's easy to read a teaching book and think, ""That's what I do."" But when you recognize yourself in a non-example, you're faced with a moment of honest reflection. -- Gene Tavernetti, Ed. D., Author of Maximizing the Impact of Coaching Cycles Humans are (almost) unique amongst animal sorts that they are capable of communicating what they have learnt to others who haven't yet learnt it. You could say, explaining is the epitome of what makes us human. And to either neglect or even deny this, denies our uniqueness as species and hampers our teaching and learning. The specific instructional techniques discussed in this book make use of these principles of cognitive and evolutionary psychology. -- Paul A. Kirschner, Emeritus Professor of Educational Psychology at the Open University of the Netherlands
