Teachers act as facilitators or coaches, using interactive discussions and
“hands-on” approaches to help students learn and apply concepts in subjects such
as science, mathematics, or English. They utilize “props” or “manipulatives” to
help children understand abstract concepts, solve problems, and develop critical
thought processes.
