What is the proper term for the method of teaching I have heard called, "moving gallery"?

I am trying to correct myself. I doubt anyone else calls it a moving gallery. I am wondering if it's anything official? We've all seen this type of training at one point. It is a method of conducting the "crawl" in the crawl, walk, run cycle. An instructor will literally guide a class through each step of mission, a walk through of sorts.
Example: Train a platoon ambush.
Take only the platoon leadership and have them run the mission by the book, from their ORP to actions on objective, as if they had the whole platoon. So, the PL, RTO, PSG, and squad leaders move out, establish an ORP, conduct a leaders recon, come back to the ORP, move out to objective, etc. The rest of the platoon is directly to the side, following along from each point to another. The instructor goes back and forth between the leadership and the platoon who is walking beside everything. Thus, it's a moving gallery of instruction.

It's called a Walkthrough.
Teach techiques in slide show. Place them into position, Talk through each step,
Have others demostrate while you talk them through the stop-action sequence, while the students sit in bleachers watching.
Then take the students out and have multiuple instructors place them into positions - rotate postions until each student has seen each position & step.

1LT (Join to see) - Pretty much something I've always seen - works best for complicated (until you learn how) maneuvers. I'm sure there is a manual out here somewhere's but it was a more or less standard technique when I (retired in '93) was active duty. Ranger School had a real good one they showed new Ranger Students at Fort Benning to teach patrolling techniques. They did it this way.
Le tme check around - they may have filmed it.

Of course they teach these before the students handle them.

The leaders are walking through it? That's a TEWT (pronounced toot like newt) Training Event Without Troops. Within minutes of hearing this term in 1990, one of my G2G colleagues loudly pronounced that it was a Practical Exercise not involving Soldiers, or a PENIS.
Seriously though, TEWT.

Lol, that's a good one sir!
I'm not sure it's the same thing. The last time I saw a moving gallery was during a lane at advanced camp in KY. The instructor pulled the cadet leadership in front, then put everyone else 20m behind them. He took the cadet leadership through each step of the mission as if they had the whole platoon, moving about 200m total through each part, from soup to nuts. Meanwhile the platoon followed behind and he went back and forth between the group standing by and the cadets actually crawling around and running the mission.
To me, It doesn't really matter what term I use until I am briefing a commander on training plans, say as a PL, or I am trying to create some shared understanding with NCOs. Is TEWT still common to say? I have never heard it mentioned before.
