11. Explicit Instruction is a structured,
systematic, and effective
methodology for teaching
academic skills.
What is Explicit Instruction?
12. It is called explicit because it is
unambiguous and direct approach
to teaching that includes both
instructional and delivery
procedures.
What is Explicit Instruction?
13. It is characterized by a
series of supports or
scaffolds – clear
statements, clear
explanations.
What is Explicit Instruction?
14. The teacher constantly monitors
understanding to make sure
students are deriving meaning
from instruction.
What is Explicit Instruction?
15. Students are cognitively engaged
throughout the learning
encounter. They have
opportunities throughout the
lesson to self-monitor and direct
their own learning and
participation.
What is Explicit Instruction?
17. Focus instruction on critical content.
Sequence skills logically.
Break down complex skills and
strategies into smaller instructional
units.
Design organized and focused lessons.
Begin lesson with a clear statement of
the lesson’s goals and your
expectations.
ELEMENTS OF EXPLICIT INSTRUCTION
18. Review prior skills and knowledge
before beginning instruction.
Provide step-by-step demonstrations.
Use clear and concise language.
Provide an adequate range of
examples and non-examples.
Provide guided and supported practice.
ELEMENTS OF EXPLICIT INSTRUCTION
19. Require frequent responses.
Monitor student performance closely.
Provide immediate affirmative and
corrective feedback.
Deliver the lesson at a brisk pace.
Help students organize knowledge.
Provide distributed and cumulative
practice.
ELEMENTS OF EXPLICIT INSTRUCTION
21. Optimize engaged time/time on task.
Promote high levels of success.
Increase content coverage.
Have students spend more time in
instructional groups.
Scaffold instruction.
Address different forms of knowledge.
PRINCIPLES OF EFFECTIVE
INSTRUCTION
22. Engaged Time/Time on Task
It is the amount of time students are
actively engaged in a learning task
The combination of quantity and quality
of instruction is the key to students
success.
PRINCIPLES OF EFFECTIVE
INSTRUCTION
23. High Levels of Success
In order for high rates of success to
occur during instruction, several
design and delivery factors must be
considered.
(teaching materials, clear presentations,
dynamic modeling of skills and
strategies,supported practice, active
participation,careful monitoring of student
responses, immediate corrective feedback )
PRINCIPLES OF EFFECTIVE
INSTRUCTION
24. Content Coverage/ Opportunity to Learn
Content coverage refers to the amount of
content actually presented (vs. time
allocated) to students.
“The more you teach, the more
they learn.”
PRINCIPLES OF EFFECTIVE
INSTRUCTION
25. Scaffolding Instruction
Scaffolding is an effective approach
for ensuring success and building
confidence for students while they
learn, because it provides the needed
support that helps bridge the gap
between current abilities and the
instructional goal. (Rosenshine, 1997)
PRINCIPLES OF EFFECTIVE
INSTRUCTION
26. Scaffolding Instruction
The amount of initial support needed
and the rate at which the support is
withdrawn will vary, depending on
students’ needs.
PRINCIPLES OF EFFECTIVE
INSTRUCTION
27. Scaffolding Instruction
As guidance is reduced,
students are required to
perform with increasing
independence until they
are able to perform the
skill on their own.
PRINCIPLES OF EFFECTIVE
INSTRUCTION
28. Vygotskian concept
Everything is learned
twice: first socially
(that is, with the
help of other human
beings), then
privately
(internalized).
29. Zone of Proximal Development
Learning takes place when there is
some knowledge, understanding or
skill, just beyond the grasp of the
learner, which the learner is “prepared”
to learn but cannot do so by herself.
The learner needs an older or more
knowledgeable or skilled person to
assist her in understanding/doing, the
new concept/skill.
The more knowledgeable person helps
the learner in the process of acquiring
the knowledge until the learner is able
to understand or perform by herself.
The time period in which the two are
working together is what Vygotsky
means by “zone of proximal
development.”
32. The Six Components of ExplicitTeaching
• The anticipatory stage
• The teacher states the
standards
• The teacher specifically
connects the lesson to :
interest, background
knowledge, big idea,
past lesson
Setting the
Stage
33. Example
The teacher will say:
- Look at me. Great! Let’s begin our lesson.
At the end of today’s lesson, you will be able
to identify what are nouns and be able to
categorize them.
When we finish our lesson, you will be able to
categorize nouns and give examples.
34. Active Engagement Strategies
( Setting the Stage)
Carousel
• Students respond with
written brainstorming
notes to topics or
prompts on charts
posted around the
room
35. 9/8/2022
I love to eat________.
Yesterday, I went to __________.
My bestfriend's name is __________.
36. Active Engagement Strategies
( Setting the Stage)
Think
Pad
• In teams, students quickly
generate ideas on think
pad slips announcing them
to teammates and placing
them in the center of the
table. After brainstorming,
ideas can be sorted with
graphic organizers like
mind-maps or Venn
diagrams.
38. Active Engagement Strategies
Graffiti
• This is great for brainstorming.
Write problems, sentences, ideas
to brainstorm on pieces of large
chart paper around the room.
Students move from chart to
chart in a small group. Each group
works on a different question and
ultimately post the charts and
have students react to the
statements and predict…
39. 9/8/2022
EXAMPLE
Goal: Draw your idea of an ideal
classroom.
Group Tasks:
Round 1: Each group draws two objects that
should be found in an ideal classroom.
(Post on a designated corner. )
Round 2: Look at the drawing of another
group's drawing. Draw 2 more objects.
..etc.
41. The Six Components of ExplicitTeaching
• Learners need explicit
details about the lesson
• The teacher re-explains
what the task is, why it is
important, and adds to
how it is done
• Divide the task into a few
steps that are logically
ordered
Explainingto
students whatto
do
42. Examples
Today we are going to learn about nouns.
This is important to know because….
We can use this skill when…
We will know we have learned this when…
43. Example
The teacher can introduce the topic of nouns by
asking the students the following questions:
Do you know what a noun is?
Do you know what a person is?
Do you know what a place is?
Do you know what a thing is?
44. 52
Active Engagement Strategies
(Explaining t0 students what to do)
Choral
Response
• Teacher says, “What did I just say?” _____ When the class all says it together, it
keeps kids engaged and thinking. Hold your hand up to provide a cue as to when
to respond together. Drop your hand when ready for class to respond.
• Non-verbal choral responses work also – “touch the word…put your finger
under…”
• Thumbs up/down
• HeadsTogether – students in groups or 3 or 4, students set time limit for
conversation around a question/topic, students discuss answer and teacher
randomly selects one to share answer of group
Random
Call o
Students
• Use playing cards
• Use popsicle sticks to call on students
• Use 3 X 5 cards
Written
Response
• Writing a quick response to a question frame or discussion
item before sharing with a neighbor or partner increases
thinking, accountability, focus, it provides the teacher with
concrete feedback, and connects written language to oral
language
45. The Six Components of ExplicitTeaching
• Modeling offers learners
the opportunity to watch
the process unfold
before their eyes.
• The teacher engages in
whatever is involved in
the learning task
EXACTLY as the students
will be expected to
perform it.
Modeling for
Students
46. Modeling
Modeling is the process
through which one person
demonstrates certain skills
and behaviors for other
persons.
In many cases, neither the
person who models nor the
persons who observe the
modeling are aware of the
learning process.
However, once understood,
the process can be employed
consciously by teachers and
others involved in the
education of children (e.g.,
the Story Track).
47. Ways to keep children actively engaged
Asking students to underline a portion of text on
board or overhead
Use the mini white boards
Repeat to a partner
Ask students to read the completed response
aloud with you to make sure it sounds good and
makes sense.
Ask for possible revisions.
48. Ways to keep children actively engaged
Teacher makes good strategies conspicuous for
kids
Ask lots of questions – use Bloom’sTaxonomy
Delve and probe into questions – trying to elicit
deeper responses from kids
Appropriate instructional pacing
Adequate processing time (ThinkTime)
Constant check for understanding
49. Examples of Modeling
Physically performing the task while verbally
guided oneself
Describe each individual step and its
importance
Make predictions
Verbalize confusing points
Demonstrate “fix up strategies”
50. Example of “Fix up” Strategies
When I get stuck I can . . .
re-read
read aloud
find out what unknown words mean
create a picture in my mind
ask questions
51. Example of “Fix up” Strategies
When I get stuck I can . . .
Make connections (text to self, text to text, text to
world)
Look at pictures, illustrations, charts and graphs
Look at pictures, illustrations, charts and graphs
Ask for help.

53. 64
The Six Components of ExplicitTeaching
• Provide scaffolding as a
temporary
support/guidance in the
form of steps, tasks,
materials, and personal
support
• Provide examples/non-
examples, and graphic
organizers, study guides,
starter stems
Guided Practice
54. The Six Components of ExplicitTeaching
• Check for
understanding
through ongoing
assessment and
constant feedback
• Students summarize
in their own words,
turn to a neighbor and
tell them….

56. Sentence Frames
Compare and Contrast
1. __________ and _____________ are ___________.
2. Both _____ and _______ have _____________.
3. ___and ___ are both similar because they both _____.
4. There are several major differences between ____
and ____. The most notable is ____________.
57. Picture this
The teacher shows an interesting visual and makes a statement about
the visual. Students repeat the teacher’s example
The teacher solicits different statements from a few students,
checking for accuracy and fluency .
Students pair s or small groups create a new variation of the
statement using other visuals that are representative of a similar topic.
Sample questions:
What is going on in the picture? or
What do you see in the picture?
What makes you say that?
Does everyone agree?
What do you feel ?
The discussion goes on until students have shared all they can about the
picture. The teacher summarizes what the students said.
"So, after looking at this picture we think that_______. We can tell this
because of_______.
58. Active Engagement Strategies
( Guided Practice)
Learning Buddies or
Partners
• Students can self-select another student with
whom to process or think-pair-share. It is to
provide time for a focus question or discussion.
Four Corners
• The teacher posts questions, quotations, photos,
etc., in each of the corners of the room. The
teachers assigns each student to a corner or
students choose. Once in the corner, the students
discuss the focus of the lesson in relation to the
question, quote, etc.
• At this time, students may report out or move to
another corner and repeat the process.
• After students have moved, as a writing response,
they should be encouraged to reflect on changes in
opinion or new learning.
59. 70
Active Engagement Strategies
( Guided Practice)
Direct Reading and
Thinking Activity
• DR-TA guides students through
actively reading the text coaching
them to make and support
predictions before reading, examine
their predictions, conclusion.
Students are taught how to use
prediction and monitoring to revise,
extend, and elaborate initial hunches
based on textual information.
Students actively compare, contrast,
evaluate.

Numbered
Heads
• Students number off in teams, one
through four.
• Teacher asks a question
• Students discuss possible answers to the
question, for a set amount of time. Group
works to agree on best answer with all
kids ready to represent team.
• Teacher calls a number 1-4 and all
students with that number raise their
hand, ready to respond.
• Teacher randomly calls on students with
the specified number to answer on behalf
of their team.
• Teacher continues asking questions until
the brainstorming or review session is
finished.
62. 73
Active Engagement Strategies
( Guided Practice)
Partner
Reading
• Divide students into groups
of two. Partner A reads a
paragraph and Partner B
summarizes it.
• The roles switch back and
forth with each paragraph
until the assigned reading
is completed.
63. 74
The Six Components of ExplicitTeaching
• Students practice the
SAME kinds of problems as
during the guided practice
time.
• During this time, teacher
should be moving about
the room, watching,
guiding, and moving
students along.
• Be sure students are able
to accurately complete
task independently.
Independent

65. Other examples
Differentiated instruction
• Have students write down words they find that fit
the desired patterns in journals or on charts.
• Ask student to form small groups and read the
words they find aloud.
• Have students check to see what new words they
can add to their journals or charts.
• Ask students to find words that they can group
together in categories.
• Record the words on chart paper for a whole-class
display.

Inside-
outside Circle
• For Inside/Outside Circles, the class is divided in half. Half
the class becomes the inside circle, and the other half the
outside circle for two large concentric circles. Students in
the inside circle face the students in the outside circle. The
teacher announces a topic, asks a question, or students ask
each other questions on sheets or flashcards. After partners
from the inside and outside circle have shared or answered
each other’s questions, one circle is rotated so students face
new partners for a new question or topic.

•Radiating from main idea are related ideas,
icons, arrows, symbols, and codes used to
represent main idea and interrelation of related
ideas.
82. 93
As a way to summarize
What is explicit? Why?
The teacher knows precisely what she wants
students to learn (be able to do) at the end
of the lesson.
Unclear learning objectives result in
vague teaching and learning.
The teacher tells students what they will be
learning.
Students are given a sense of
predictability and control. They are
joined with the teacher in the
instructional encounter.
The teacher focuses her attention and
students’ attention on the task at hand.
Students know where to direct their
attention so that learning is maximized.
83. As a way to summarize
What is explicit? Why?
The teacher explains, models, gives
examples and non-examples, restates
when necessary, and helps students to
state and restate goals and strategies.
Knowledge that is usually covert is made
overt and explicit; students are “let in” on
the secret of how independent learners
learn.
The curriculum is arranged so that
students are taught prerequisite skills
ahead of time.
Students are set up for success!
The learning is meaningful and purposeful. Students are not taught useless facts and
concepts; what students are taught now
they use now and in the future; explicit
connections are made between prior and
current learning.
84. As a way to summarize
What is explicit? Why?
The instructional transaction
follows a structured framework.
The e.i. framework combines
elements that maximize
achievement for many students.
The teacher provides
corrective feedback.
Particularly in the acquisition
stage, the teacher corrects all
errors. Otherwise, students
will practice errors and have
difficulty learning more
complex skills later on.
85. 9/8/2022
EXAMPLE
Setting the Stage:
Look at this picture class.
What do you see in the picture?
Do you know how these are called?
We call them nouns. Today, you will learn
about nouns.
At the end of today’s lesson, you will be able to
categorize nouns as people, places and
things.
86. 9/8/2022
Explaining to the students what to do:
Today, we are going to learn about nouns.
You will also categorize them later as persons,
places, or things.
Knowing this is important because everything
that we see around is a noun.
Knowing their categories will help you
compose a sensible sentence.
