Dr Muska MosstonMuska Mosston was a pioneer who discovered a new paradigm about teaching and learning. SOTS has been implemented in public and private school classrooms in all subject matters, all grade levels, and with varying levels of performance.
The Spectrum equips teachers with the fundamental knowledge for developing a repertoire of professional behaviors that embrace the objectives needed to connect with and to educate students.

Answered the Questions
A different Perspective that
Is teaching/coaching independent of
one’s idiosyncrasies? (We teach based on our own experiences and preferences)
Is there only one or more than one teaching/coaching approaches?
If there are multiple approaches to teaching/coaching, what differentiates one teaching approach from another?

"Historically, if Muska Mosston is the father of the Spectrum, Sara Ashworth is the mother. It
has been Sara who has singlehandedly nurtured and kept the Spectrum alive for the
past forty years."

Pre-ambleMosston Spectrum of Teaching Styles is NOT a/an:
• Model
• Approach
• Strategy
• Frame
• Programme
It is a repertoire of styles (requisites) a teacher/coach should have to meet the learning needs of our students/athletes. Teaching is an action that results in learning.

When & why this style is used?
• Right on Cue (Timing)
• Commanding / Synchronised Performance
• Precision
• Safety
• Replication / Repeat
• Predictable Performance
• Immediate Feedback
• Efficient
• No decision by performer
It is not meant for DISCIPLINE or
MANAGEMENT

Command Style Pitfalls
• Excessive instructions (talking), too little time for athletes to be active
• Not synchronised – examine the pace and rhythm speed (too fast or slow)
• Annoying or Overlapping command signals – unclear signals
• Excessive repetition – boredom, fatigue or both. Athletes need to feel challenged and satisfied that they have accomplished something (learnt)
• Stopping the whole team where only 1-2 athletes are having difficulty. Disrupts flow and diverts the team’s attention to the inadequacies of the individuals.
• Staying in one spot. Move about (using rhythm-support techniques other than counting). Allows coach to get near and give private feedback to individuals.

educators. (Approx – 70%)

Reciprocal Style • Promotes moral and social development (21st CC skills)
• Teacher: “I never expect teaching can be so liberating; I can now focus on helping those who needed my attention.”
• Students’/athletes’ make the intrinsic decision to learn and learn alongside their peers at their own pace.
• Three (3) main roles – Teacher/Coach, Performer and Peer Observer
• Main Tool – Criterion Worksheet with accurate instructions and success criteria clearly described and understood by the students/athletes.
• Teachers’/coaches’ main roles are to move around to assist the peer observers’ observational and feedback skills.
• Learners internalise the cues and observing performance. (research evidence)
• Never say this “ you are now the teacher / coach” why?

Self Check Style (D)
• Students/athletes take ownership of their own learning.
• Teachers/coaches transmit the content knowledge through a medium like criterion worksheet. The latter can be digitalised.
• Key to note is that the worksheet must provide accurate information and success criteria.
• Worksheets can be same with Style C (Reciprocal style)

Coach’s decisions
• Specific Content / Topic (i.e. dribbling, shooting, throwing)
• Design Practice Tasks
• Factor in Levels of performance (i.e. easy, medium, hard)
• *Performance criteria (i.e. if you make 3 out of 5 shots, you may proceed to the next level)

Students/Athlete’s decisions
• Where should I start?
• Levels of performance (i.e. easy, medium, hard)
• Performance criteria + Adherence
• “I have made only 1 out of 5 shots, I will try shooting at closer range.”
• “I have made 3 out of 5 shots, should I stay on to get all in or should I move to shoot from a further distance.”
“What if don’t want to move on to another level? Can I stay on to practice at this level?”

Logical and sequential design of questions (and practice tasks) to lead an individual to discover a pre-determined response.

Potentially, one of the most difficult style to use in a large group.

Convergent Discovery – Style G• Discover the correct (pre-determined) response using a
convergent process.
• Coach makes the subject matter decisions, including the target concept to be discovered, and to design the single question delivered to the learner(player). “Where is the area where you have the highest chance to score a basket? Why?”
• Learner/s (player/s) to engage in reasoning, questioning, and logic to sequentially make connections about the content to discover the answers (movement solutions)
