The traditional approach to teaching—where the teacher stands at the front, delivers a lecture, and expects children to retain the information—simply doesn’t work!
Instead, here are 7 steps to holistic retention, along with practical ways to implement them: 1. Lecture – Begin with direct instruction, not just to inform but to inspire! Set the learning goal and spark curiosity. 2. Reading – Engage the class in reading a text related to the topic. This builds a solid foundation for deeper discussions. 3. Audiovisual – Encourage students to watch or listen to additional resources in their own time. This supports different learning styles, especially non-literal learners. 4. Demonstration – Model an activity for the class. This not only sets expectations but also showcases your expertise. 5. Discussion – Have students collaborate, brainstorm, plan, and troubleshoot any challenges they foresee in their learning process. 6. Practice – Give students time to independently research, gather evidence, and complete their projects—this stage may take up to a week! 7. Teach Others – Learning is solidified when students share their knowledge. Encourage them to present their work and teach others what they’ve discovered. It’s time to rethink how we teach and make learning truly meaningful! #teacher #montessori #education #learningreimagined
