In the real world of the classroom, there is general agreement that students should have an opportunity to create and further their own learning. For such a student-centered experience to exist, students need the foundational knowledge and skills most effectively and efficiently provided by a skilled teacher.
Teach FAST describes how teachers can plan and deliver the most effective and efficient lessons possible using a single lesson framework. It is based on a synthesis of cognitive science and nearly 20 years of experience training and coaching teachers in classrooms on how best to provide instruction in foundational knowledge and skills that allow students to reach their creative potential.
This was an excellent book on instruction with a good framework that any teacher could follow. A lot of it I already do but it really helped to organize thinking and plans in a cohesive manner. The order he has you plan a lesson it just makes sense. I wrote my first lesson that way and realized I caught some details I might not have otherwise. Looking forward to teaching the lesson tomorrow.
