Explicit Teaching

Explicit teaching is a clear and intentional way of instructing where the teacher actively models, explains, and guides students through new concepts or skills. It involves direct instruction, including clear objectives, step-by-step demonstrations, guided practice, and feedback. This method ensures students understand exactly what is to be learned and how to achieve it, making learning more efficient. It’s especially useful for complex or new topics, helping learners build confidence and mastery through focused, structured instruction rather than relying solely on discovery or independent exploration.
