Explicit Instruction: My Favorite Session from the Reading League Conference

One session still sticks with me from this month’s whirlwind of conferences, from the Reading League Conference to the Summit on Science of Reading in Higher Education.
I’m too excited to keep Anita Archer’s Summit remarks to myself, so I made a video to share her key points.
In her talk, Anita covered explicit instruction and explained how university professors should teach new teachers about explicit instruction.
If you wish you had learned more about explicit instruction in your teacher’s college days, this is for you.
Spoiler alert: Anita recommends we stop asking teachers to write their own lesson plans! 🤯

Reflecting on your own teacher training, do you agree that explicit instruction was underemphasized? What impacts do you think this had on your teaching career?

This is so affirming! You’re describing what I strive for in my work with pre-service teachers! ❤ Thank you and Auntie Anita!
