 I do, we do, you do is a proven method for helping students to learn and practice new skills. Let's see how it works. As an example, we'll see how a mother bird teaches her babies to fly. She follows the method of I do, we do, you do. The mother bird is the teacher and the baby bird are the students. The first step is I do. The teacher demonstrates the new skills she's teaching and explains the process to the students. The teacher might demonstrate the skill a few times to make sure the students understand. The second step is we do. The teacher and the students practice the new skill together. This is where they spend the most time. They practice the skill together until the students seem confident about the process. The third step is you do. The students practice the skill on their own. Using this part, the teacher observes the students to see if they have learned the skill correctly and to guide those who need help. This method is a very effective way to help students gradually build confidence as they learn and practice a new skill. More than just a teaching method, this is a pattern you can follow wherever you teach something new.
