pre assess before teaching
Pre assess ensures we are teaching at the sweet spot - neither too easy, nor too hard - that is we are teaching on firm learning foundations.
A trial and improvement pre assess plan is much better than a pre assess everything approach.
Every timely practice scheme of learning should have a scheme of pre assess. The sooner the teacher pre assesses ahead of teaching:
- the more effective teaching in lessons will be,
- the easier learning in the lesson will be,
- the more easily and quickly the learning of the lesson will become firm foundations for future learning.
