Education

Teaching Approach

plan → teach → practise → assess → support → review. 📚 1. Term structure At the beginning of the term: 1. Check the curriculum/syllabus – identify the topics and learning objectives. 2. Break the term into units/topics – decide what should be taught each week. 3. Prepare a scheme of work – weekly topics, objectives, activities, resources and assessment. 4. Plan assessments – quizzes, classwork, projects, tests and end-of-term assessment. 5. Allow flexibility – keep some time for revision, catch-up and learners who need extra support. 🧑‍🏫 2. Individual lesson structure A typical 40–60 minute lesson could be: 1. Introduction / Starter – 5–10 min Greeting and settling learners Review the previous lesson Ask a few questions or give a quick activity Introduce today's topic 2. Learning objective – 2 min Tell learners clearly: > “By the end of today's lesson, you should be able to…” 3. Teaching / Explanation – 10–15 min Explain the new concept Demonstrate examples Use pictures, real objects, stories or technology where appropriate 4. Guided practice – 10–15 min Teacher and learners work together Ask questions Check understanding Correct misconceptions 5. Independent practice – 10–15 min Learners work individually or in pairs/groups while you observe and support them. 6. Assessment / Plenary – 5 min Short questions Quick exercise Ask learners to explain what they learned 7. Homework / Extension Give a suitable follow-up task where necessary. ⭐ For primary learners I would particularly focus on active learning, rather than making the lesson mostly teacher talk: Engage → Explain → Demonstrate → Practise → Apply → Assess And throughout the lesson I would differentiate for: Learners who need additional support Learners working at the expected level Fast/advanced learners who need extension activities If you're preparing for a primary-school teaching interview, this is also a strong way to answer the question “How do you usually structure your lessons or term?”
