Explicit instruction is a method that allows students to learn in sections or parts and at a pace that will allow for the time and practice needed to solidify skills. With an effect size of .60, explicit teaching can provide the needed opportunities for students to demonstrate proficiency. During this study session, we will be introduced to:
- A clear definition and examples of explicit instruction
- The steps to use when practicing explicit instruction
- Providing opportunities for students to demonstrate skill proficiency
Come join us and your fellow curriculum folks from across the state as we explore problem-solving techniques to help move students from a reactive mindset to a systematic thoughtful approach. Questions please contact drjpyle@smcaa.org
Target Audience: Curriculum Directors, Instructional Coaches, grade level and content teachers interested in ways to use explicit instruction in teaching specific skills.
Materials Needed/Interactive Level: Mid-level interaction as participants will be asked to reflect and share throughout our time together.Free to SMCAA Members
Note: We would love for you to bring ideas and examples of explicit instruction you may have used to teach specific skills.
