Tea-Time Talk
Teaching in the moment is presenting material using a technique you believe will get through to the students. Blank looks or fidgeting in the seats are signs that you’re not getting a “bite”. When you see these reactions you need to make adjustments, then watch and ask yourself questions. How did you phrase what you just said? What examples were provided? The difference between simply making adjustments and teaching in the moment is observing everything that happened when you got that “bite.” When you see a sign of connecting, note everything in that environment and begin to work your new pattern.
