explicit instruction

Explicit instruction is a teaching method where the teacher clearly and directly explains new concepts or skills to students. It involves step-by-step guidance, modeling what to do, and providing opportunities for students to practice and receive feedback. This approach ensures students understand exactly what they need to learn and how to do it, reducing confusion. It's especially effective for teaching new or complex material, helping students build confidence and mastery through structured, intentional teaching rather than discovery or trial-and-error alone.
