"It's the umbrella that sits over everything"
In this episode, Arthur, Mike, and Claire discuss how to implement Rosenshine's principles of instruction in the classroom. Claire suggests that teachers start by reflecting on their current teaching practice and identifying areas for improvement. She emphasizes the importance of knowing your subject and using modeling and questioning techniques effectively. Mike adds that modeling should involve breaking down steps, checking for understanding, and showing different contexts. Claire also highlights the value of using a visualizer and being generative with pre-prepared models. They conclude by discussing the significance of effective questioning and the need to plan responses to student answers.
