MTSS Explicit Instruction Interventions: Effective Practices

You can design a perfect lesson plan, but if this plan is delivered in a manner that fails to involve or engage students, learning will not occur. Effective delivery of instruction is paramount in explicit instruction for TIER 1, Tier 2, and TIER 3 students.

Anita Archer and Charles Hughes's Explicit Instruction: Effective and Efficient Teaching is a research-based instructional approach that empowers teachers to deliver instruction to diverse groups of learners. In this workshop you will explore how to design and deliver scaffolded lessons that are organized for active participation as well as effective and efficient classroom management with mastery learning as the ultimate goal.

Participants in this session will:

• Focus on the "art of teaching".
• Learn to deliver organized lessons focused on eliciting student responses through careful monitoring using corrective and affirmative feedback while maintaining a brisk pace.
• Observe models and participate in an explicit instructional approach that involves eliciting oral, written, and action responses from students.
• Discover content reading procedures that actively involve all students.

According to Dr. Archer, “If instruction is truly interactive and students are constantly responding, then attention, on-task behavior, and learning increase, and behavioral challenges decrease.”

The Explicit Instruction courses spread out over three individual training sessions and gives general and special education teachers, interventionist, and administrators the tools they need to implement explicit instruction at any grade or content level.
