a.
Steps one, two, and three typically occur at the beginning of a learning event and are repeated, separately
or together, as needed throughout a learning event (to refocus or restart the learning).
b. Steps four through seven typically occur in a repetitive fashion for every manageable chunk of new content
(knowledge and skills).
c. Steps six and seven are about embedded (also called formative) practice of new knowledge and skills.
d. Step eight is about summative assessment (also referred to as comprehensive/holistic testing).
2. The events can be applied to any approach to learning (e.g. direct instruction; discovery learning, constructivist
approaches, etc.) and typically span across learner experiences both inside and outside the classroom or
formal learning event/environment.
