The IDMANN Method

Instruction Organized Around the Learner.

A structured approach to individualized teaching that coordinates people, materials, instruments and assessment around a defined Tutorial Target.

The IDMANN Method begins by defining the Tutorial Target—the learner, class or cohort whose capability is to be developed. Every instructional decision is then organized around that target.

Rather than require one person to define, design, deliver and examine the entire learning process, the Method separates these functions and coordinates them. This division of responsibility makes instruction easier to prepare, more consistent to deliver and more responsive to evidence from the learner.

The sequence below presents the Method’s organizing principles, roles and operating cycle.

From Method to Practice

A Complete Instructional Cycle.

Defined intent becomes designed instruction, guided learning and verified capability.

  1. Define The Tutorial Authority specifies what must be learned.
  2. Design The Tutorial Designer constructs the instructional sequence.
  3. Deliver The Tutorial Coordinator guides the learner through it.
  4. Examine The Tutorial Examiner evaluates the resulting capability.

Evidence from examination informs the next instructional cycle. The Method therefore remains responsive to the Tutorial Target without making instructional quality depend on one person’s memory, improvisation or available preparation time.

This operating structure is expressed through IDMANN’s three cooperative services: customized instructional materials, qualified Tutorial Coordinators and curated digital instruments. Each is valuable independently; together, they provide comprehensive support around the Tutorial Target.

Through IDMANN STEP, partner schools can apply this architecture within their own curricula, communities and institutional identities.
