Overt Teaching

Beschreibung

Overt Teaching argues that successful learning is dependent on learners being actively involved in the learning process. Not only do learners need to be aware of what they are learning and why, but their involvement in the discussion of their own success is critical.

After laying out the case for Overt Teaching, the authors provide practical steps and activities that will take you on the journey from Covert to Overt Teaching. You will be shown what planning, teaching, progress and success look like from the Overt Teacher’s point of view.

Part A provides an insightful introduction to Overt Teaching and its effectiveness for learners and teachers alike. Part A looks at:
