- Move around the room to determine the level of mastery and to
provide individual remediation as needed.
Closure:
- Review and clarify the key points of a lesson, tying them together
into a clear summary and ensuring that the learners can apply the
information to their own individual circumstances.
- Give learners an opportunity to bring things together in their own
minds, to make sense out of what has just been taught.
- Help learners to form a coherent picture, to consolidate information,
eliminate confusion and reduce frustration.
- Reinforce the major points that were learned.
PHASE 4
Independent practice:
- Provide reinforcement practice once the learners have mastered the
content or skill.
- Offer opportunities for independent practice via homework or in the
learning environment without the practitioner's assistance.
- Use in subsequent projects.
- Ensure that the independent practice provides enough different
contexts so that the skill/concept may be applied to any relevant
situation...not only to the context in which it was originally learned.25
The failure to provide independent practice that incorporates different
contexts is responsible for most learners' failure to be able to apply
something learned.
