When delivering instruction, the pausing and punching of keywords to convey skills and content is an integral component of effective instruction. Emphasizing a critical phrase or word helps students focus on the pivotal part of the presentation. In a distance learning situation, the skillful application of this technique is vital to helping maintain student engagement.
This webinar is based on our popular video in-service Delivering an Effective Lesson: Critical Phrasing.
Participants in this webinar will learn
- the general guidelines for delivering an effective DI lesson using critical phrasing;
- how to emphasize bold words in the script;
- how to identify where pause and punch would be beneficial, even if not bold or otherwise indicated in the script
- how practicing critical phrasing before teaching to students positively impacts student performance and progress.
Participants will need internet access and the ability to view a PDF on a separate device (tablet, iPad) or print the 6-page participant handout.
The $40 session fee includes materials and ongoing access to the video presentation.
