What does it mean by these expressions?
Hi friends,

I want an easier paraphrase of the text below:

Show students how to play to their strengths. By this point in our list
of strategies, you’ve read quite a bit about getting students thinking about
creative performance and encouraging them during the act of creating.
Of course, as a teacher in a particular subject, you need to ensure that
your subject matter is somehow involved. But as students grow in their
creative insights and abilities, prepare them for creating in the world at
large. In that arena they gain most by playing to their strengths.

1- What is the meaning of "By this point in our list
of strategies, you’ve read quite a bit about getting students thinking about
creative performance and encouraging them during the act of creating"?

2- why quite a bit? does it have a negative meaning?

3- in text below "at large" means " in real world?

" prepare them for creating in the world atlarge."

Thank you so much dear friends.

:)

Answer

1- What is the meaning of "By this point in our list
of strategies, you’ve read quite a bit about getting students thinking about
creative performance and encouraging them during the act of creating"?

This means that you have reached a 'summary' point - it is a short review of what you have been expected to learn so far. This summary expects you to have been getting students thinking about their own performance and encouraging them while they are in the process of creating.

2- why quite a bit? does it have a negative meaning?

'Quite a bit' is slightly confusing - it actually means 'quite a lot'! The sentence is actually saying that you have read quite a lot on the subject. If someone has 'quite a bit' of money then they really have quite a lot of money. It does not have any negative meaning.

3- in text below "at large" means " in real world?

Yes, you are correct!
