Active Teaching

Active teaching is a three-point instructional delivery strategy in which the teacher presents, explains, illustrates, and demonstrates content to enable students to meet a learning objective.

Involve Students in Learning

Replace lecturing with an approach that more actively involves students.

Active teaching makes learning more collaborative and engaging, which is especially important during the middle school years as students seek more independence in figuring things out for themselves.

Three Phases of Active Teaching

  • Teach and Model
  • Student Collaboration
  • Facilitate Reflection
