Expected lesson pacing

The rule is to complete one lesson to mastery each instruction day.

If a group is consistently not at mastery, the teacher works with the instruction coach to determine the problem.

The most common causes are:

The teacher can maximise instructional time and improve behaviour through additional technique training and more practice.

Before teaching, the teacher practices lessons and prepares for each day to ensure lesson progression and mastery. This is the best way to know the lesson and what to expect during instruction.

Pacing of instruction and transitions impact on lesson progression during teaching.
