Procedure: Discussion
These are 10 characteristics of teacher-centered instruction

1. 
   The teacher is the center of knowledge and in charge of learning.
   
2. 
   Students are usually passively receiving information.
   
3. 
   The instructor’s role is to be primary information giver and primary evaluator.
   
4. 
   Students are viewed as “empty vessels” who passively receive knowledge from their teachers.
   
5. 
   Teachers and professors act as the sole supplier of knowledge, and under the direct instruction model, teachers often utilize systematic, scripted lesson plans.
   
6. 
   Teacher Centered Instruction is fairly low-tech, often relying on the use of textbooks and workbooks instead of computers
   
7. 
   Assessments are in many cases only carried out as summative and not formative evaluations and they rarely address qualitative issues of the learner’s progress.
