Our teaching plans follow the direct/explicit instruction methodology. This model is basically “I do, We do, You do” which means first, the teacher does, then the student and teacher do together, and then finally the student does the activity. We leverage this lesson plan template <to be provided>.
If you develop teaching plans that you’d be willing to share with others, please contact us via the form on our “Contact Us” page.
