The document discusses Direct Instruction, a teaching model that focuses on systematic, scripted, teacher-centered instruction. It emphasizes mastery of subject matter through explicit instruction, guided practice, independent practice, and assessment. The key components of a Direct Instruction lesson are presentation of new content, practice with content, and monitoring of student understanding through cues, prompts, and feedback. Overall, Direct Instruction prioritizes teacher-led instruction, assessment of student learning, and structured lessons to ensure student success.
