Professional Development to Practice

Why Direct Instruction?
“When using Direct Instruction (DI) as the
Framework for planning, the teacher increases
his/her effectiveness by considering the seven
elements as they “bring alive” the content or as
they “scaffold” the learning needs of the students.”
Teacher decision making is the basis of this approach
to teaching.
