Excerpt from Chapter 9:


    "A treasury of strategies exists for making ideas and skills clear and accessible to students. This section lays them out in sequential categories: Framing the Big Picture for Students; Getting Ready for Instruction; Presenting Information from a Repertoire of Explanatory Devices; Using Effective Speech; Being Explicit; Making Cognitive Connections; Checking for Understanding; Unscrambling Confusions; Making Students' Thinking Visible; and Summarizing."
