Explicit vs. Implicit Instruction

• Explicit- direct, systematic instruction

• Implicit- instruction that relies heavily on questioning and exploration as opposed to a systematic design

Vocabulary Example:malapropism

Vocabulary Example:

malapropism

Vocabulary Example:

malapropism: the habit of misusingwords, especially those that sound alike

Let’s precede with this plan.

• Set Purpose • State Objective• Connect to and Review Previous Learning• Teach and Model New Concept• Guide Practice• Assess Student Application• Return to the Purpose to Reflect• Provide Opportunity for

Independent Practice

The Components of the Expl ic it Instruction Routine

• Purpose

• Objective (Learning Target)

• Connection to Previous Learning

CLEARLY COMMUNICATE:

Today we are going to learn…

The reason we are going to learn this is…

At the end of this lesson you will be able to…

Yesterday you…

•Teach the New Skill

•Model the New Skill

Explicitly:

My turn.

Watch me and listen as I…

•Guide students in practicing the new skill •all together

EFFECTIVELY:

We

Do

Our turn.

Let’s try this together.

• Gradually Release ResponsibilityStudents practice while you monitor ability, engagement, and opportunities for practice

• Assess student applicationfor mastery or needs

DELIBERATELY:

You

DoGradual Release of Responsibility (Pearson & Gallagher, 1983)

Your turn.

Let’s see you try this on your own.

• Facilitate reflection

• Provide opportunity for independent practice for those who are ready

STRATEGICALLY:

You

Do

Tell your partner what you learned and practiced today.

I want to give you a chance to showthat you can do thisindependently.
