Direct Instruction Webinar
For many, the return to school in September was a challenge. We have read, and have heard anecdotally, that the attainment gap has widened by the lockdown which has had an impact on pupils’ progress with their learning. We already know that in some areas, poorer pupils are now over two full years of education by the time they take their GCSE’s*.

Direct Instruction is a programme that can help to close the gap, get students back on track and engaged in learning.
This webinar will be hosted by McGraw Hill and delivered in partnership with the Direct Instruction South Hub, based at Avonbourne Academy, United Learning.
Join us to hear about the impact of DI on one student who displayed these traits.
- Very little confidence.
- Hides away behind other students.
- Often becomes tearful.
- Struggled to read a sentence with simple words.
- Poor fluency with basic calculation.
- Unable to comprehend worded maths problems.
- Be confused by a lack of basic mathematical knowledge.
- No logical reasoning.
