Teaching Meaning: What Works When Telling Isn't Enough

By Christian Moore-Anderson

Move beyond the tired debate of transmission versus discovery. Teaching Meaning offers a viable alternative: a dynamic, human-centred approach grounded in the science of how we make sense of the world.

From the acclaimed author of Biology Made Real and Difference Maker, this book stands upon a consequential truth: students don't just learn content; they learn their teacher.

To harness this, Teaching Meaning reframes teaching as an evolving conversation built on five essential moves: Communicating, Conversing, Varying, Modelling, and Practising. Inside, you'll learn how to use:

Explanations to help students notice what actually matters.Questions as tools for revealing their underlying thinking.Variation as the key to moving beyond recall into real understanding.Modelling and Practice to turn new insights into habits of mind.

Discover a fresh way to think about meaning-making and find new ways to enjoy the human art of teaching.
