Summary:

Show Your Work: Teaching Smarter with the Science of Learning offers an accessible, teacher-centered approach to evidence-based instruction, written by a veteran educator who taught before, during, and after the pandemic. Recognizing that today’s teachers are hungry for practical, research-informed strategies—without being told exactly what to do—this book bridges the gap between theory and practice with respect and empathy. Drawing from years of classroom experience and a deep study of learning science, the author presents high-impact techniques such as retrieval practice, modeling, scaffolding, and more, with real examples from diverse K–12 classrooms. Rather than prescribing one-size-fits-all solutions, Show Your Work invites teachers to reflect, adapt, and apply ideas in ways that honor their professional judgment, making it a refreshing and empowering guide for educators in any discipline.
