A really nice article. I am a teacher now, too, and I would add this to his notion of giving a problem before a solution. I teach English, and I have learned that giving students definitions to every word I am going to use is not as beneficial is giving them the sense of what I am trying to say and letting their minds figure out the meaning. This is obviously more frustrating for some students, but when you understand the general meaning of a something you hear, I really believe your mind starts to work a lot harder than if you are spoon fed things, which is a lot more beneficial to learning in the long run.
