(Harry K. Wong and Rosemary T. Wong)
1. Explain
• Define the procedure.
• Demonstrate the procedure
• Demonstrate the procedure step by step
2. Rehearse
• Have students practice the procedure under your supervision step by step.
All procedures must be rehearsed! Have students repeat the procedure until it
becomes a routine and can perform the procedure independently.
3. Reinforce
• Re-teach, Rehearse, practice and reinforce the procedure until it becomes a
student routine. If rehearsal is unacceptable, re-teach the correct procedure
and provide corrective feedback. Praise the students when rehearsal is
acceptable.
