This professional development session provides educators with an overview of Explicit Instruction, a research-based approach that supports student achievement through clear, direct, and systematic teaching strategies. Participants will learn how to design lessons that incorporate modeling, guided practice, and independent application to effectively meet the diverse needs of all learners, including those requiring additional support. This session is aligned with FAPE, IEP Implementation, Instructional Strategies, and LRE components of the TEA-required self-assessment.
