We are pleased to announce that Dr. Carl Hendrick will be the featured keynote speaker at the National Direct Instruction Conference and Institutes in Eugene, Oregon, on July 28, 2026.

Dr. Hendrick is an internationally recognized expert in the science of learning and instructional design. He is a professor at Academica University of Applied Sciences in Amsterdam and leads research projects that bridge cognitive science, educational psychology, and classroom practice. He recently wrote a posting on his Substack- 10 Rules for Designing Effective Instruction. He does an excellent job of summarizing the most important points Engelmann and Carnine make in their classic Theory of Instruction. It is both insightful and useful.

In the coming months, we will be releasing information on the conference, but we wanted to share this exciting news now so you can start making your plans to be in Eugene July 27-31!
