Resources for EBIP 3: Explicit Teaching and Modeling
The resources for the third Evidence-Based Instructional Practice (EBIP) are now available on the EBIP webpage, in addition to an EBIP General Introduction document.
Research consistently indicates the importance of students having access to quality, standards-aligned grade-level instruction. All of the work to create a written, guaranteed and viable curriculum, to break down the standards and create aligned assessments is necessary, but the quality of the day-to-day classroom instruction students receive has a significant impact on their overall achievement.
As teachers implement their local standards-aligned curriculum, it is important that they strategically and intentionally use evidence-based instructional practices that support students in reaching the intended learning outcomes. A critical first step is to ensure students have clarity regarding the content they are learning, which often involves explicit teaching and modeling when learning complex or new content. Through the use of explicit teaching and modeling strategies, students are able to process content in digestible chunks without unnecessary barriers to their working memory.
To support teachers in this work, the third EBIP in the 2021-2022 Teaching and Learning Professional Learning Series focuses on Explicit Teaching and Modeling and includes the following:
- An overview video;
- A narrative introduction that synthesizes the current research on explicit teaching and modeling;
- Facilitation considerations for structuring the professional learning; and
- Content-specific resources to support implementation.
