Summer Series: August 9-11, 2016
Systematic, explicit instruction is a highly effective, research-based strategy for students with IEPs. This course is centered on the book, Explicit Instruction (Archer & Hughes, 2011) and provides instructors with specific tools and techniques that can be used in the classroom. We will learn about active participation, lesson design, critical delivery skills, explicit vocabulary instruction, giving feedback, and praise. Dr. Anita Archer will join us in-person in the spring!
Lab: October 28 & November 17, 2016; January 26 & March 24, 2017
The explicit instruction lab gives practitioners the opportunity to deepen their skills and application of the explicit instruction strategies and techniques learned in the series. The purpose of the learning lab is to provide an opportunity for colleagues to come together to connect, share, reflect, and observe in a safe and supportive environment.
