Explicit instruction is systematic, direct, engaging, and success oriented—and has been shown to promote achievement for all students. This highly practical and accessible approach gives special and general education teachers the tools to implement explicit instruction in any grade level or content area.
Lesson Design that Promotes Classroom Management explores the foundations of Explicit Instruction, designing organized lessons focused on strategies, skills, and content, as well as pacing of lessons. You will also learn how the organization of the classroom and methods for teaching routines and rules sets the stage for delivering lessons in a way that promotes learning. You will look at how to make your classroom climate both orderly and positive—valuable tools for veteran teachers and coaches mentoring other teachers as well as for the novice teacher.
Join us for a professional development centered on how to create daily objectives, increase active engagement, use a "perky" pace, scaffolded instructional activities, and effectively use formative assessment with an exemplar response. During our time together, participants will learn, practice, and implement the Elements of Effective Instruction in order to build expertise and confidence while meeting the needs of all students.
