Micro teaching is a scaled-down, simulated teaching practice where a student-teacher teaches a small group (5-10 students) for a short period (5-15 minutes), focusing on developing one specific teaching skill at a time.

"Micro teaching is a training situation scaled down in terms of class size and time." - Allen and Ryan (Stanford University, 1963)
