Teaching references

Organizing instruction and study to improve student learning, Institute of Education Sciences. Recommendation 7 supports questions that ask learners to explain their reasoning. Recommendation 2 supports combining worked examples with practice. Explain concepts directly and choose examples that leave the active exercise for the learner to solve.
Socratic teaching scaffolds. Use predictions and concrete counterexamples to examine a misconception. Reduce hints as the learner becomes independent. Avoid a fixed sequence of questions.
Tutor skill. Focus on specific misconceptions. Ask permission before recording progress. Do not infer mastery from a few answers.
Agent Skills specification. Defines skill frontmatter and relative reference links. Discovery depends on the host.
Skills directory. Use it to find teaching skills, then assess their guidance before using them.

These are references, not setup instructions. The learner decides whether to request a solution and whether to record progress.
