Explicit direct instruction (EDI) : the power of the well-crafted, well-taught lesson
Explicit Direct Instruction (EDI), an approach based on the premise that all children can learn, helps teachers deliver effective lessons that can significantly improve achievement for all learners, including English language learners and students with special needs. In this teacher-friendly book, the authors combine educational theory, brain research, and data analysis in a step-by-step guide for implementing the EDI method in diverse classrooms. Written in an entertaining easy-to-read style, this resource provides elementary and secondary teachers with concrete strategies, detailed sample lessons, and scenarios that illustrate what EDI techniques look like in the classroom
