Anita Archer and Charles Hughes's Explicit Instruction: Effective and Efficient Teaching is a research-based instructional approach that empowers teachers to deliver instruction to diverse groups of learners. The workshops in this course will explore how to design and deliver scaffolded lessons that are organized for active participation as well as effective and efficient classroom management with mastery learning as the ultimate goal.
Active Participation that Improves Classroom Management
This workshop focuses on the "art of teaching." You'll discover how to explicitly choose and teach vocabulary, and how to deliver organized lessons focused on student engagement for all students while maintaining a brisk pace. According to Dr. Archer, "If instruction is truly interactive and students are constantly responding, then attention, on-task behavior, and learning increase and behavioral challenges decrease."
