Macro Teaching is a group learning activity where the teacher conveys the concepts to the whole class at once. The setting for this can be a normal school or a classroom at a university.
The idea of macro lessons is to teach students how to learn, not just what to learn. It’s about showing them how to think, not just telling them what to think.
Macro lessons allow teachers to assess how well students understand concepts by breaking them down into smaller chunks. This makes it easier for them to create a personalized program that meets the needs of all students.
Plus, it helps teachers reach more and more students and saves time by integrating with other learning strategies.
A macro lesson plan is the blueprint for the curriculum that will be taught to students.
The plan is broken down into a timetable that covers the entire course in a series of lessons. It answers questions associated with the what, why, when and how of the subject. A successful macro lesson plan provides a concise, actionable, and organized path from lesson start to lesson end. This creates clarity, gives confidence to the teacher and ensures a good learning experience for the student.
