Teaching methodology

Teachers compare explanation, guided practice, discussion, and independent work against a specific learning purpose. The question is always which move belongs here, and what would count as success. Methods are treated as choices with costs, not as identities.

Objectives

  • Match a method to a purpose.
  • Notice when talk is replacing thinking.
  • Plan the handover from teacher to learner.

Learning outcomes

  • A method chosen for one lesson, with a reason.
  • A shorter teacher explanation.
  • A learner task that reveals thinking.
