Why It Works
The Maloney Method teaching model is a combination of four proven educational strategies backed by authoritative research:
- Behavioral Objectives & Learning Outcomes
- Behavior management
- Direct Instruction
- Precision Teaching
Teachers are able to:
- Use easily-measurable learning outcomes and behavioural objectives
- Achieve instructional control through focused and systematic one-on-one teaching, and by providing positive reinforcement for diligence and success
- Use three easy-to-follow instructional delivery steps: show the student what’s to be learned, practise it together, and monitor the student’s independent demonstration of learning
- Apply easy-to-use measurement system providing immediate feedback on progress, problems and possible options
- Use directed practice to ensure the student is getting it right, and not practising errors
- Monitor student’s independent demonstration of learning to a measureable level of fluency
