6th Week - Bates textbook - Engelmann

Week 6 * Engelmann p. 41 * Engelmann's famous quote, "if the students haven't learned, the teacher hasn't taught" (Bates, 2023, p. 40) which focuses on the model of direct instruction. Everything must be taught for someone to know how to do it. Educators often forget about the simplest things that need to be taught to children such as following directions, self-help skills, or expressing their thoughts. There are multiple strategies to teach children to learn including hands-on practice, step by step instruction, or through connections of previous teachings. Provide students with well-developed lesson plans anticipating various strategies and levels of understanding. Incorporate small group teaching based on student's abilities to strengthen and practice skills. Encourage students to connect their learning to their own experiences while providing positive feedback as they do so.
