Each month, District Administration (DA) Magazine recognizes a select number of books as "Noteworthy Reading". Most recently, DA recognized abook by NIFDI Press, The Science and Success of Engelmann's Direct Instruction, as one of four titles for recommended reading for leaders in education.

District Administration's Lauren Williams writes, "For almost a half-century, educator Siegfried Engelmann has shown how all children can learn if they are taught effectively with his Direct Instruction (DI) curricular programs. Edited by Jean Stockard, the chapters in this book are written by educators from multiple generations and disciplines, bringing a variety of perspectives on Engelmann's impact. The book also considers the potential for wider acceptance of Engelmann's programs and how they can drive achievement in America's schools."
