In this excellent and beautifully written book, Andy Tharby addresses the topic of how teachers across all subjects of the curriculum can develop their capacity to explain with clarity, precision, flair and agility.
Rooted in research, Andy's captivating and persuasive arguments are bolstered by his practical experience and carefully considered reflections (as a learner as well as a teacher) as he explores the importance of subject knowledge and debates the key principles underpinning effective explanations. He then goes on to outline practical tips and guidance, helpfully punctuated with specific examples, for mastering the art yourself.
Andy cleverly presents his ideas by using the very strategies he suggests, helping us to understand the significance of clear and compelling explanation. And he does so in such a clear and compelling way!
