Dynamic Teaching

by Harman Max Benda, Win Wnger

Dynamic Teaching is a guide to effective group management techniques and to modern Socratic Method. It is based on three fundamental 1.People mostly learn by relating information to their prior experience and the contexts they have already built. 2.Anything you describe in detail, while examining it closely, you discover more and more about.3.You get more of what you reinforce.When put into practice, these three principles achieve the original purpose of the Socratic Method, a method used to get people to examine their perceptions and to describe what they discover in order to learn. In Dynamic Teaching, a process called a buzz group integrates all three principles. The goal of buzz groups is to ensure that the class achieves your goal and that your students fully understand your points from their perspective.Without effective group management, buzz groups tend to fail. You will learn about the Water Glass and Relevancy Challenge techniques which are fundamental to group management. Additionally, there are specific techniques depending on your objectives.The group-focusing techniques enable any leader or teacher to give every member of a class or group a significant experience while maintaining the strongest possible focus on the topic being addressed or taught. Dynamic Teaching elicits focused communications in a way which causes the information shared to reflect the highest thinking and actual genius of the group!As a result of the group-management techniques and buzz groups, the average student experiences in one week as much opportunity to articulate his or her perceptions and thoughts as he or she normally gets in a year! This practice, as might be expected, profoundly and cumulatively improves student command of language and reading comprehension skills.
