Participants will gain an understanding of how to unlock learning potential in all students through the use of explicit instruction.  This presentation will provide participants with an overview of the Science of Explicit Instruction: the definition, research, and components.  We will ground our understanding in a model mini-lesson, discussion application into lesson planning and instruction delivery.  Then, together, we will explore the Art of Explicit Instruction which allows educators to have a prescribed, not scripted, method of teaching.  This session will empower educators to make small, but powerful changes in their classroom to help all students meet rigorous expectations.  Participants will leave with an instructional playbook and additional resources to continue learning and encourage immediate application of new learning.
