This model is sometimes necessary, but not a sufficient instructional tool on its own. It is more teacher-led, than student-directed.
-
Review previously learned material. Make certain that students have mastered the material taught previously and that they understand the connections to the new learning.
-
State Objectives for the lesson. Objectives should be presented at the beginning of the lesson in a manner students can understand.
-
Present new material. New material should be well organized and presented in an interesting manner.
-
Guide practice, assess performance, and provide corrective feedback.
-
Assess independent practice, assess performance, and provide corrective feedback. Independent practice (i.e., homework) should be assigned only when the teacher feels the students can perform the work correctly.
-
Review periodically with corrective feedback if necessary. Reteaching should be conducted if necessary.
