Explicit Instruction to support pupil learning
The ‘Five-a-Day’ Principle: first in a series of videos looking at elements of explicit instruction.
Questions for reflection
This video looks at:
- communicating clearly and succinctly;
- modelling how to complete a task;
- using carefully planned visuals;
- frequent checks for pupil understanding;
- and guided then independent practice.
How would you judge the quality of your own explicit instruction?
How are these strategies particularly helpful for some pupils from socio-economic backgrounds and pupils with SEN?
