Instructional continuum revisited
What is Direct Instruction (DI) and Explicit Instruction (EI)?
• Direct Instruction (DI) is a model for teaching that emphasizes well-
developed and carefully planned lessons designed around small learning
increments and clearly defined and prescribed teaching tasks. It is based on
the theory that clear instruction eliminating misinterpretations can greatly
improve and accelerate learning. (Engelmann & Carnine, 1982)
• Explicit instruction efes to teahe‐eted istutio that is foused o
clear behavioural and cognitive goals and outcomes. These in turn are made
epliit o taspaet to leaes.
What’s the diff?
…although Direct Instruction includes the majority of the elements of explicit
instruction and is based on such principles as increasing on-task behaviors [sic],
high levels of success, and content coverage, it is distinguished from explicit
instruction by its emphasis on _______________________ (“tei, Caie, &
Dixon, cited in Archer & Hughes, 2011, p.15).
Explicit Direct Instruction (EDI)
Explicit Direct Instruction (EDI) is a collection of effective, research-based
instructional characteristics for __________________________________that
explicitly teach content, especially grade level content, to all students.
(Hollingsworth & Ybarra, 2013)
