The Teaching Alive methodology is based upon experience, professional development and academic learning.  Bloom’s Taxonomy of Learning has been widely used in many Primary School classrooms and, more often than not, covers the many steps and stages that teachers sub-consciously and logically go through in the teaching process.

In the Teaching Alive methodology we re-order, rename and formalise the steps to better suit the Primary classroom (see the diagram opposite).  This is then applied to create a Writing, Reading and Mathematics methodology.

Key words for each stage have been added in brackets to better reflect the Primary classroom, where we:

  • look at what we know and how we remember what we need to know to help us;

  • break learning down;

  • use this learning with an element of freedom;

  • apply learning with support; and

  • then use it independently, showing our understanding.
