PREMIUM: Starting an explanation

Part 7 of the My Teaching series.

Staggeringly accurate A.I. representation of how I teach

The story so far…

I have been looking at how I used to teach (when my pupils achieved impressive results) and how I teach now. I don’t think I am doing anything particularly impressive now, but I still think it’s worth reflecting on what I do.

In Part 1, I described the context in which I teach.

• I teach part-time and don’t have my own classroom.

• My school has policies that dictate many lesson features and routines.

• As part of those policies, all lessons are based on workbooks.

So far, there have been six posts, which have covered the earlier parts of the lesson and the resources I use.

• Part 1: How I start a lesson

• Part 2: Taking the register

• Part 3: Handing things out

• Part 4: Completing and marking the Engage Task

• Part 5: Using the mini whiteboards

• Part 6: It's 2025 and I'm still using PowerPoint

In this post, I will discuss how I lead up to the teaching of new content.
