The document describes the Direct Instruction teaching model, which is a structured teaching strategy used for subjects like math and literacy. It involves daily review, new concept development, individual student work time, homework assignments, and periodic reviews. The goal is to provide clear instruction, guided practice, independent practice, and assessment to help students master academic skills and concepts.

- 2. Direct Instruction Direct Instruction is a very structured teaching strategy suited to many subject areas, but often used in mathematics or literacy teaching.
- 4. Active Teaching Model earliest Direct Instruction methods, developed for the Missouri Mathematics Effectiveness Project (Primary Schools)
- 5. Active Teaching Model it could be adapted to any academic age or level, and to teach literacy, foreign languages, science --- indeed any structured skill-based subject.
- 6. Content 1. Daily Review 2. Development 3. Seatwork 4. Homework 5. Special Reviews
- 7. Daily Review (about 8 minutes, except on Mondays): –Review of concepts and skills associated with yesterday’s homework. –Collect and deal with homework assignment. –Ask several mental computation exercises.
- 8. Development (about 20 minutes) (introducing new concepts, developing understanding): – Briefly focus on prerequisite skills and concepts. – Focus on meaning and promoting student understanding by lively explanations, demonstrations, etc. – Assess student competence: • using process and product questions (active interaction). • Using controlled practice – Repeat and elaborate on the meaning portion as necessary.
- 9. Seatwork (about 15 minutes) (Students working alone on exercises) – Provide uninterrupted successful practice. – Momentum – keep the ball rolling – get everyone involved, then sustain involvement. – Alerting – let students know their work will be checked at the end of each period. – Accountability – check the student’s work
- 10. homework –Assign on a regular basis at the end of of each maths class except Firdays –Should involve about 15 minutes of work to be done at home. –Should include one or two review problems.
- 11. Special Reviews Weekly Review: • Conduct during the first 20 minutes on Mondays • Focus on skills and concepts covered during the previous week. – Monthly Review • Conduct every fourth Monday. • Focus on skills and concepts covered since the last review.
