The National Institute for Intensive Intervention (NCII)\u00a0mission\u00a0is to build capacity of state and local education agencies, universities, practitioners, and other stakeholders to support implementation of intensive intervention in reading, mathematics, and behavior for students with severe and persistent learning and\/or behavioral needs (NCII, 2019).<\/p>\n
As part of their commitment to educators, the have created a module about the features of explicit instruction.\u00a0 Here is a description of the module:<\/p>\n
“This module begins a series of modules on the topic of explicit instruction. Explicit instruction is about modeling and practicing to help students reach academic goals. We focus on explicit instruction in which the teacher selects an\u00a0important objective, specifies the\u00a0learning outcome, designs\u00a0structured\u00a0instructional experiences,\u00a0explains directly,\u00a0models\u00a0the skill being taught, and provides\u00a0scaffolded practice\u00a0to achieve mastery (NCII, 2019).”<\/p>\n

This module introduces the concept of supporting practices necessary for successful implementation of explicit instruction. The module introduces how to use effective methods to elicit frequent responses. Throughout the module, educators will learn how eliciting frequent responses support instruction within the DBI framework.<\/p>\n In this module, educators will learn about:<\/p>\n This module is divided into five parts, with an introduction and closing.

This module focuses on providing immediate specific feedback and maintaining a brisk pace. The module begins with a review of the explicit instruction model and describes how the supporting practices can be used to maximize student engagement.
