Teaching As A Methodical Process

- Mastering those laws lets teachers 'send knowledge into the depths of the soul.'
Use The Seven-Part Framework
- Ensure your lesson includes the two actors, two mental factors, and three acts to follow Gregory's structure.
- Use teacher, learner, common language, lesson, teacher's work, learner's work, and review as your checklist.
Know The Lesson And Demand Attention
- Verify you know the material before teaching it and prepare to convey it clearly.
- Hold students accountable to attentive listening while you guide their attention proactively.
