Summary:Froschauer takes on the issue of teaching concepts that are the hardest for students to fully understand. Teachers carefully craft a series of lessons that provide experiences that should lead to the conceptual development of specific disciplinary core ideas. Along the way, students are engaged and respond accurately to questions, and their chatter concerning the activity reflects understanding. However, when asked to fully explain the concept or apply what they know to other situations, they cannot respond accurately. She stressed that student needs must be considered when designing lessons while at the same time these experiences must also be based on standards-based instruction that reaches all students.
