Here is where we can answer DI-related FAQ's.

The National Institute for Direct Instruction (NIFDI) started primarily as an implementation support organization, assisting schools in school-wide, full immersion Direct Instruction implementations that followed Zig Engelmann's vision of how a DI school would look. Over the years, NIFDI has expanded services to include research support, publications and, recently, open enrollment workshops and conferences.  

Here, we will put FAQ's...I think I have a list somewhere?

This is where we will show data and tell the stories of different schools we've worked with...maybe this should be in a blog format?

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.
