One of the most critical roles in a successful Direct Instruction implementation is the peer coach. With good, careful peer coaching, teachers will become more skilled and proficient in teaching the program, and students will excel with improved instruction.
In an implementation that does not incorporate high-quality peer coaching, some teachers may become stars, while others may demonstrate little to no improvement, ultimately hindering the implementation as a whole from achieving a high level of success.
With effective peer coaching, staff development, and strong leadership, teachers who use Direct Instruction will improve significantly, and students will progress farther and faster than they ever have before.
Join the National Institute for Direct Instruction (NIFDI) for a 2-day Direct Instruction (DI) Coaching Academy on the essentials of successful DI coaching. This session equips building and district-level instructional coaches, peer coaches, lead teachers, and mentor teachers with critical coaching and support skills.
We offer two different Coaching Academies for you to attend. Click on the title to read about each one:
