It's a very effective method to help the audience join the dots. In language teaching, the teacher may speak a phrase at the start of the lesson, move on to develop the lesson theme and then revisit the phrase during the plenary. They introduce a seemingly random topic early on in their set, and it seems there is no relevance.

Unconditionally regarding each child with positivity is key to good pedagogy (Rogers, 1983). Effective pedagogy not only has impact, it's contagious. It was a simple question: Why are we expected to standardise our testing when we have differentiated in our teaching? This is profound. There is incongruity in our schools.

For centuries, innovative teachers have been trying to find other more effective methods of pedagogy that can take the place of lecturing and instruction. We learn by teaching.
