The school year has a rhythm that teachers and students recognize.
Some classes have a weekly rhythm.
There are even daily rhythms. Researchers have been able to detail the patterns that guide some of these rhythms. And while these rhythms may lie just below our consciousness, they are powerful organizers of our educational relations. By identifying the teacher's preferred instructional approach, it is possible to select teaching rhythms that organize classroom interactions to reach this goal. The typical learning unit is outlined by a time schedule that organizes a sequence of topics to be addressed.
