Explicit instruction is systematic, direct, engaging, and success oriented–and has been shown to promote achievement for all students. This highly practical and accessible resource gives special and general education teachers the tools to implement explicit instruction in any grade level or content area. The authors are leading experts who provide clear guidelines for identifying key concepts, skills, and routines to teach; designing and delivering effective lessons; and giving students opportunities to practice and master new material. Sample lesson plans, lively examples, and reproducible checklists and teacher worksheets enhance the utility of the volume. Purchasers can also download and print the reproducible materials for repeated use. Video clips demonstrating the approach in real classrooms are available at the authors’ website: www.explicitinstruction.org.

Dr. Archer is fantastic
If you’ve ever heard Dr. Archer speak, you know she is a unique, dynamic presenter. This book has her voice all through it. She “cuts the fluff and teaches the stuff” in an easy to use, straightforward manner. I use this book often when I am working with teachers who need quality strategies for their teacher toolbox. Highly recommend this book to all educators.

The Book Every Educator Should Read
As a 20 year educator, this is one of the most important books in my library. I highly recommend it. It synthesizes the most important elements of instruction. If everyone taught this way, we would have few problems in education. The entire continent of Australia has adopted this. If you are familiar with the highly effective and research based Direct Instruction, this will apply those elements to curricula not in DI format. Start a book club with colleagues and read this first. Anita Archer is brilliant and models this approach to instruction in videos.

Anita Archer Rocks!
I love this book! She writes just how she talks in person. I have found Explicit Instruction to be very helpful in my teaching career so far. She simply explains her points and makes them easy to approach and implement. I highly recommend this book. However, I would recommend that this book work in tandem with a more open, explorative approach. Thank you Anita!
