Explicit instruction in English
This document provides a suggested outline for facilitating a group session where teachers can use the explicit instruction in English video to reflect on their own practice. It could also provide guidance for activities for self-directed professional reflection.
These activities aim to:
- build knowledge of explicit instruction (particularly using worked examples) and of AERO’s guidance in this area
- assist in developing teaching strategies involving explicit instruction
- encourage teachers to embed explicit instruction in their practice.
This resource was created by Ochre Education in partnership with AERO.
