The practices presented in the book are being used in schools and districts that seek to improve science teaching at scale, and a wide range of science subjects and grade levels are represented. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The book is organized around four sets of core teaching practices: planning for engagement with big ideas; eliciting student thinking; supporting changes in students' thinking; and drawing together evidence-based explanations. Discussion of each practice includes tools and routines that teachers can use to support students' participation, transcripts of actual student-teacher dialogue and descriptions of teachers' thinking as it unfolds, and examples of student work. The book also provides explicit guidance for \"opportunity to learn\" strategies that can help scaffold the participation of diverse students. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Since the success of these practices depends so heavily on discourse among students, \u003ci\u003eAmbitious Science Teaching\u003c\/i\u003e includes chapters on productive classroom talk.
