ABSTRACT
The idea is that teachers summarise the learning of the lesson and allow teachers to check what learning has taken place. The genius who can pre-prepare one question at the perfect halfway mark of a lesson, who can then work out how to get every child to answer it, and who can then assess and redirect the lesson, frankly deserves to win teacher of the year, every year, until the end of time. Very few aspects of subjects lend themselves to being packaged so neatly in such small chunks. Concepts are always linked to other concepts, and are, in fact, best understood by children in connection with what they already know, so it stands to reason that to separate a concept out and teach it and test it in isolation is not as helpful as it might at first appear.
