Teaching
Strategies

"Tag" teaching

Call out teaching moments so that the learner is aware they are being taught.

This will help drive main points home and ensure they are paying attention with a learner's mindset.

For example:

Here is my teaching point
Tell me what you learned from this case
Summarize what you learned on shift today
