Set induction refers to the steps a teacher takes at the beginning of a lesson to introduce the topic and engage students. This includes gaining students' attention, motivating them about the lesson, and linking the new material to prior knowledge. Good set induction strategies include getting students' attention, sparking their interest, putting the lesson in context, and using advance organizers. Examples of attention-getting and interest-building techniques include asking thought-provoking questions, showing objects, and giving demonstrations. Putting the lesson in context can involve assessing prior knowledge through questions or reviewing past lessons. Advance organizers provide a framework like a mind map or story. An effective set induction should be brief, engaging, and directly relate to the upcoming lesson.

3. What is a set induction?
• Set induction is also called anticipatory set.
• Steps taken by a teacher to begin a lesson or
other classroom activity.
• To introduce topic and get students focused
and interested in the days lesson.
• When the learners are set, they are ready to
learn.
• It is about getting ready and induced into the
right frame or mind-set to learn.
• Concerned with the ways of introducing the
teaching and learning process.

4. Why set induction?
• To arrest or gain the attention of
the learners and prepare them into
a state of readiness.
• To motivate the learners and get
them interested in the lesson.
• To get students focused or think
on what is to be learned.
• To suggest an approach of the
lesson.

5. Con’t
• To establish a link between what
students had known before and what
is introduced, moving from old to new
materials and linking of the two.
• To establish a framework to assess
the impact and effectiveness of a
lessons
• To give meaning to a new concept or
principle, such as giving examples.

6. Set induction to be Impactful:
It needs to:
• Be related to the topic, theme, or lesson of the day.
• It can build off from a previous lesson, skill, or strategy if it’s
related or connected to the current lesson.
• The message, question, or strategy needs to reveal itself or
reappear again in the lesson. That way students make the
connection, almost like a light bulb going on.
• It should help the student get ready for the upcoming lesson by
leading directly into the lesson.
• For our sports fans, think of it like a PRE-game show before the
big game.
