Description
Direct Instruction is an incredibly powerful approach to teaching with a robust and wide ranging evidence base. Although you can buy field tested ready to go teaching programmes that are based on DI theory, there is much that can be applied to the everyday classroom. DI theory can help answer two of the biggest pedagogical questions: what should we teach and how should we teach it. DI is the closest we have got to a complete, scientific framework for approaching teaching and learning.
