Principle three: pace
Correct pacing means that we should handle each activity and phase of activity at the tempo and momentum suitable to it. Without correct pacing, we can lose control and make our students either bored or frustrated, and in a large mulitilevel class such students become troublemakers. We have to make provisions for students who finish early and create the kinds of activities that allow the slower student extra time.
Each class has different demands for pacing, and only careful observation can teach us just what kind of pace to set for our students.
