I always liked TheOdinProject approach. Teach concepts, have little code along projects, either text based or video based, and then a project to throw you into the fire. The fire always got me better results than anything.

I'm still really new, but I want to build a course that follows that format, but for the project side have a set of requirements & tests to validate those requirements. The student is forced to think about how to solve the problem without hand holding or code to reference.

The validation comes in passing the tests as you go throughout the project.
