Explicit Teaching
Definition: Concepts are fully explained and procedures fully demonstrated before novices are asked to apply those concepts or procedures
Features that increase effectiveness
- highly interactive
- new material presented in small steps with practice after each step
- big investment in ‘we do’
- whole class response systems eg mini whiteboards, cold calling, think-pair-share
- lots of spaced practice
- pitched so students obtain 80%+ success rate
- as students move from novice to expert, balance shifts to them solving/completing more steps themselves
The ultimate destination is for students to solve complex problems or produce complex products on their own
