The Teaching and Learning Cycle
The Teaching and Learning Cycle
The teaching-learning cycle is based on the notion of having high expectations supported by strong scaffolding and explicit teaching. It is based on Vygotskian principles of learning through interaction with more proficient others in the context of shared experience. The activities are carefully ordered to build up students’ knowledge and abilities so that they can experience success.
