PRESENTATION OUTCOMES

Participants will be able to define the term Explicit Direct Instruction.

Participants will be able to explain the advantages of an effective, highly structured lesson.

Participants will be able to describe the five phases of EDI.

WHAT IS EXPLICIT DIRECT INSTRUCTION?

Direct instruction is a step-by-step instructional sequence that can also be recursive, affording the teacher the opportunity to return to a previous phase based on need. The cognitive load is gradually transferred from the teacher to the student.

Orientation Presentation Guided Practice Closure Independent Practice

WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF A WELL STRUCTURED LESSON?

Every time teaching improves . . Students learn more

The lesson framework is clear and well defined The instructional approach produces a high

percentage of successful students The instructional approach is effective (students

learn) and efficient (students learn quickly) The lesson planning process is independent of

grade level, content or student’s age The lesson is more effective for students with

disabilities and at-risk students The lesson is more effective with students living

in poverty

WHY ARE WE USING THIS EDI MODEL

Based on: Four million state-level student test results Analysis of 2.3 million student assignments Observation of twenty-five thousand teachers Survey of over one hundred thousand

educational stakeholders to collect perception data

LETS REVIEW

Two Minute Pair Share

What are the five phases of an Explicit Direct Lesson?

Discuss at least one advantage of a well structured lesson that applies to your school

EDI LESSON DESIGN COMPONENTS

1. Orientation Phase: Lesson Objectives:

- Learning Objective- Language Objective- Social Objective

Activate Prior Knowledge- Universal Experience- Subskill Review

Communicate expected results

Check for Understanding

WHAT IS A SOCIAL OBJECTIVE AND WHY ARE WE USING IT?

To enable students to successfully function in a collaborative environment, teachers must explicitly teach these interactive structures in their classrooms through the use of social objectives and direct instruction.

We Do Collaboratively is a component of the Guided Practice Phase

Secondary students need to be taught collaboration routines

Twenty-first century skills are promoted more effectively when social norms are taught explicitly and monitored continuously for impact on student learning

2. Presentation Phase “I Do”: Teacher provides explicit definition or rule Teacher provides examples and non-examples Content is either procedural or declarative Three methods of instruction:

- Model- Explain- Demonstrate

LET’S REVIEW

3 Minute Pair Share

What are the 3 stages of Guided Practice? What is the purpose of the “We Do

Collaboratively” stage for - the teacher- the student

Why should a teacher complete a closure activity before having students engage in independent practice?

EDI LESSON DESIGN COMPONENTS

5. Independent Practice Phase Students practice what they were taught Independent Practice matches the Learning

and Language Objective Students are not expected to “teach

themselves” during independent practice Students take responsibility for their learning Activities must be meaningful and focused.
