Product reviews for The Expert Teacher
Ron Berger, Chief Academic Officer, EL Education
I am not sure I have ever read a sharper book on instruction than The Expert Teacher, written by a master classroom educator with remarkable depth of knowledge in educational research.
The book offers a powerful fusion of hands-on experience and underpinning research, and I love the fierce attention to detail in Darren's analysis of exactly what makes a lesson succeed in terms of student understanding. Darren achieves this not just by suggesting practices such as analogies, examples,
diagrams and confronting misconceptions, but also by teasing apart exactly what makes those practices effective or not.
I have spent over 40 years in education considering what makes a beautiful lesson, and I still found myself surprised and enlightened by what I encountered on almost every page. It's hard to imagine any teacher reading this book without becoming profoundly more intentional in building and leading effective lessons.
