I use three teaching styles—Directing, Discussing, and Delegating.
I primarily use the directing style.
The Directing Style
The teacher describes his or her general expectations, as well as the rules and procedures that students need to follow.
On specific assignments, the teacher tells the students what to do, how to do it, and when to have it done.
The directing style promotes learning through listening and following directions.
Communication:- Is predominantly one-way, from teacher to student. The teacher needs to be clear, concise, and complete. Students gain information primarily by listening, taking notes, and receiving written instructions. The only feedback the teacher looks for is “Do you understand the directions?”
Coaching :-Occurs as the teacher tells students what changes are needed. In addition, the teacher may demonstrate the desired behavior, such as rewriting a passage to improve clarity or conducting a role-play to illustrate a better approach.
Recognition:—The teacher praises students who follow directions and correctly answer questions.
Tips for using the directing style:-
Make sure you have the student’s attention. All eyes are on me. You need to pay close attention to these instructions.
Provide the context before launching into the details.
If needed, put the directions in writing so students can refer back to them.
