The idea
Apprenticeship combines modeling, coached practice and feedback; cognitive apprenticeship adds making expert thinking visible, as the expert thinks aloud, so learners can see the tacit knowledge behind skilled performance.
In practice
A teacher solving a word problem says aloud, "First I ask what the question wants."
Where people slip
The steps move from modeling, through scaffolded approximation, to self-directed and generalized performance.
