In this episode, Heather and Alex explore explicit instruction (EI), a structured and systematic teaching approach that benefits both general and special education. They discuss its definition, practical applications, and advantages, highlighting key strategies like breaking down complex tasks, scaffolding, and fostering predictable routines. Heather emphasizes its role in creating consistent environments for special education, while Alex highlights its value in building foundational skills in general education. Together, they advocate for EI’s universal benefits in enhancing student engagement and success, urging its adoption in all classrooms to improve outcomes for diverse learners.
