  • the incremental step design of the DI programs,
  • selecting examples and non-examples and other aspects of faultless communication,
  • field testing the DI programs,
  • differentiating instruction through DI,
  • addressing grouping challenges,
  • training and supporting staff implementing DI, and
  • monitoring and responding to the implementation of DI so all students succeed!

To address several questions, Engelmann shares key graphics from his book, Direct Instruction: A Practitioner’s Handbook (2024), published by John Catt/Hodder Education. The book is available here
