Virtual Roundtable: Delivering Solutions and Results with Direct Instruction
Join a panel of educators from the UK as they discuss the steps they took to identify the need for intervention tools in their classroom. More and more students are entering secondary school with under-developed Maths and English skills, and the pandemic has contributed to this significantly.
Our panel of teachers, consultants and advocates have achieved transformative solutions and results using Direct Instruction and are helping to bridge the attainment gap in the process. In this webinar, they will discuss how Direct Instruction helped them do this and why it’s a vital tool for today’s learners.
