Teachers may have well-designed lessons (especially those that have been tested repeatedly so that they can be scripts), but they still have to present them with enthusiasm, monitoring of students' responses, and careful provision of feedback.

My comment on scripted instruction and resistance thereto is at http://kitchentablemath.blogspot.com/2008/01/sigh-misunderstanding-scripted-learning.html I should have written "misrepresented" rather than "misunderstood". But good scripts alone are not enough -- teachers' expertise in delivering the scripts is just as important as actors' ability to bring the scripts to life.

I should have written “misrepresented” rather than “misunderstood”.

But good scripts alone are not enough — teachers’ expertise in delivering the scripts is just as important as actors’ ability to bring the scripts to life.
