Direct Instruction

Direct Instruction is a straightforward way of teaching where the teacher takes the lead. They clearly explain new information, demonstrate how to do something, and guide students step-by-step through practice. Think of it like a coach showing you how to play a sport—they teach the skills first, then let you practice. In short, it’s about clear, structured teaching that helps students learn the basics before moving on to more complex tasks.
