How to use I DO – YOU DO approach
I DO: In this phase, the teacher models (characterised by explicit instruction) how to complete the task/problem. The teacher may choose to adopt the ‘silent teacher’ approach to avoid cognitive overload during this phase. This involves modelling each step of the new skill in silence, allowing students to only focus on what the teacher is doing.
Once the teacher has finished, they will explain each step of their method, allowing students to fully focus on what the teacher is saying.

YOU DO: In this phase, the students work independently to complete a similar task/problem.
There will still be opportunities for students to ask questions and for individual students to receive additional support from their teacher during this stage, but it is expected that most students will be able to work through the questions independently.
