What our partners say…

The National Institute for Direct Instruction (NIFDI) has developed a resource for advocates of Direct Instruction (DI) at here. Initially designed to support community organizations advocating for effective instruction, the Community Group Action Page provides a number of valuable resources for anyone promoting DI. These resources are designed to help build understanding and awareness of DI, as well as support successful implementation of DI.

The resources you will find include a step-by-step guide on how to advocate for DI in your local schools, information on using DI for core programs and links to alignments between DI and the Common Core State Standards (CCSS), among many more!

If you visit the page, we would be interested to know how you use the resources and what other types of resources would be helpful to you in advocating for DI. Feel free to email us at info@nifdi.org.

Implementing Direct Instruction Successfully

When implemented fully, Direct Instruction (DI) is unparalleled in its ability to improve student performance and enhance students’ self-esteem. In order to implement DI effectively, much more is required than simply purchasing instructional materials. The following two-part tutorial guides administrators, teachers, and coaches through the key features of a successful DI implementation. Part I provides an overview of the steps schools need to take in preparation for a DI implementation before school starts, while Part II provides an overview of the steps schools need to take after school has started.

IMPORTANT: This tutorial is an intensive video series comprised of 18 segments, each followed by a series of questions. Users should allow approximately three hours to watch the videos and complete the questions. NIFDI recognizes the high demand for time placed on school officials and, for this reason, has structured the tutorial so users may stop at any time and later resume where they left off.
