Reflection on video of David Hewitt's teaching methods

What stood out to me while watching this video was the teachers patience and it's effect on the children's learning.  He allowed the students time when there was a disagreement, time in which they could learn from their peers instead of him preaching at them and time for them to figure out their own mistakes.  His method was also very visual, he moved around pointing at parts of the room, it wasn't all pen and paper, thus the students were more easily engaged and less easily distracted. As the students were more actively involved they were participating more and learning without realising. I believe this form of subconscious learning to be very effective, many times someone has asked me how I know something but I can't recall and more often than not I can't remember things that I know I have been taught. This teacher's methods made sure all the students had the opportunity to participate but without being singled out, which I feel is important not just for their learning but for their confidence also.
