Critical Phrasing Webinar

When delivering instruction, the pausing and punching of key words 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, skillful application of this technique is vital to helping maintain student engagement.

On Monday, April 6, at 1 p.m. PST, NIFDI will be conducting a webinar based on our popular video in-service Delivering an Effective Lesson: Critical Phrasing. Veteran DI consultant Tamara Bressi will facilitate the session.

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. 

Please note: Due to limited access to our offices, we can only accept credit card payments for this Webinar.
