Models of Teaching Models of teaching are designed to provide a framework for educators to organize their instructional strategies and enhance the learning experience of their students. The main purpose of models of teaching is to provide a structured approach for teachers to plan and implement effective teaching practices in their classrooms. These models act as the basis for the indoctrination of teaching theories and, therefore, teaching models contribute towards effective and interesting teaching. According to Joyce and Weil, “A model of teaching is a plan or pattern that can be used to shape curriculum (long-term courses of study), to design instructional materials, and go guide instruction in the classroom and other settings.” According to Eggen, “Models are prescriptive teaching strategies designed to accomplish the particular instructional goal.”
