The Direct Instruction Model

The Direct Instruction Model is a structured teaching approach where teachers explicitly present new material, model skills, and provide guided practice. It emphasizes clear goals, step-by-step instruction, and immediate feedback to ensure students understand and master concepts before progressing. This method prioritizes teacher-led instruction and systematic review, making learning efficient and consistent, especially for foundational skills or new topics. Its goal is to maximize student understanding through focused, deliberate teaching methods, ensuring all students have the opportunity to succeed by following a clear, organized teaching process.
