3. Explicit Instruction: An Evidence-Based Practice for Effective and Long-Term Learning

Program: Mid West Regional Partnership Center - CTLE Approved Sponsor

Dates: 10/16/2023

New
This explicit instruction training package is intended to support participants' knowledge of explicit instruction and teachers' abilities to effectively implement explicit instruction. Explicit instruction is a high leverage practice that has proven to be effective for special education students. Research has shown higher achievement results for students with disabilities in both reading and math after receiving explicit instruction. The Recognizing Effective Special Education Teachers (RESET) Explicit Instruction Rubric (EIR) is introduced as a general observation tool that aligns with best instructional practices for students with disabilities within this training. The accompanying activity in the Participant Packet allows participants to observe a lesson and determine where the instruction would fall on the rubric. The intention is that participants might utilize the rubric as a guide as they work to incorporate elements of explicit instruction into lesson planning and/or practice.

Students with disabilities and students of different cultural backgrounds are less likely to feel like they have a positive relationship with their teacher and that their identities and abilities are valued and affirmed in school.
