The Explicit Instruction Academy focuses on the design and delivery elements that define explicit instruction. As a high-leverage instructional practice, explicit instruction consistently yields positive effects for increasing outcomes for all learners including students with disabilities.
By the end of this series, participants can:
1. Provide bell-to-bell instruction to optimize student learning every day
2. Select critical content for lessons, breaking complex tasks into obtainable pieces
3. Design organized, systematic, intentional lessons that contain an opening, a body, and a closing, adjusting the lesson to the content
4. Present lessons in an engaging manner that optimizes student attention and learning
5. Elicit responses throughout the lesson
6. Monitor the accuracy of students’ responses and adjust the lesson based on student performance
7. Provide immediate feedback on students’ responses in order to close the gap between current and desired functioning
8. Provide judicious practice on skills, strategies, concepts, vocabulary, academic rules, and facts to ensure retention
9. Create a classroom climate that promotes appropriate behavior, academic learning, and positive relationships with peers and the teacher
