Models of Teaching

The document discusses models of teaching, which are prescriptive strategies that provide a common framework to guide planning, instruction, and discussion of teaching among educators. Models of teaching are grouped into four families based on their purpose and intended outcomes: information processing, social, personal, and behavioral. They are designed to meet varied student learning needs, promote different types of learning, and increase the likelihood of achieving certain skills or knowledge. Models provide benefits for both teachers and students such as improving instructional quality and facilitating student engagement. However, they should not replace an educator's expertise and may not be effective for all students.

desired outcomes.
Questions for Critical Reflection
1. What models do you use during
instruction?

2. What other approaches do you
