The XSEED Method
Lessons in the SuperTeacher Teaching App follow the XSEED Method, with its five research-based steps: Aim, Action, Analysis, Application, and Assessment.
· Aim: A measurable “can do” learning outcome that guides the whole lesson
· Action: An engaging, hands-on learning experience that is carefully crafted to help students achieve the aim
· Analysis: Key questions, student-friendly explanations, and supporting visuals to guide a two-way discussion, which allows students to reflect and make connections with the aim
· Application: Problem-solving questions and tasks for students to independently apply and practice what they have learned in a variety of different contexts
· Assessment: Formative and summative tools to help the teacher determine whether students are approaching, meeting, or exceeding the desired learning outcome
