If teaching primary learners, the author would use an integrative approach where students draw on prior knowledge and experiences to support new learning. For example, a citizenship project could have students identify a community problem important to them. This gives students more knowledge and understanding of the lesson. The author also supports using enabling strategies, which provide detailed step-by-step explanations at a slower pace to help children better understand concepts without struggling. Enabling strategies include representation, connections, communication, reasoning, and problem solving to help teachers choose effective specific strategies.

If you were teaching in primary learners, what approach, strategy or
techniques you used? And why?
Integrative approach. learner brings together prior knowledge and
experiences to support new knowledge and experiences. Learners draw on their skills and apply them to new experiences at a more complex level. Example: project involving citizenship and community must first involve student interest. A teacher can encourage students to identify a problem in their community, such as an environmental issue or traffic problems that is important to the students. Because being involve in the topic give in the student more knowledge and they understand what is the lesson about.
Enabling Strategy. The detailed step-by-step explana- tions of materials used
in classroom lectures and are presented at a delivery pace that is signifi- cantly slower than what can be accomplished in the limited time available in the classroom.
There are five Enabling General Teaching Strategies (Representation,
Connections, Communication, Reasoning and Proof, and Problem Solving) that can be very helpful for SHS teachers in coming up with appropriated specific teaching strategies (e.g., Gallery Walk, Think-Pair-Share, Quescussion, Two Column Method, etc.)
It helps children better understand each process of what is being studied so
