microteaching
Brief instructional rehearsal
Microteaching is a training technique where teachers practice specific skills in brief, scaled-down lessons—typically 5 to 20 minutes with a small group of students or peers.
The lesson is often recorded and reviewed, allowing the teacher to receive focused feedback on particular techniques like questioning, pacing, or classroom management.
Her microteaching session focused on wait time after asking questions.
