Origins and Critical Elements of Authentic Direct Instruction 


This hour-long webinar details how Siegfried Engelmann developed and refined Authentic Direct Instruction, the most comprehensive and effective system for teaching the widest range of learners.

The features and purpose of the component parts of Authentic DI are explored in detail. Viewers will gain insight into how these features are the basis for Barak Rosenshine’s 10 Principles of Instruction, as well as their distinct differences. Some of these differences include:

  • field-tested programs, revised on the basis of field-test results
  • faultless communication via scripts
  • student materials that match teacher scripts
  • procedures for placing students at their skill level
  • in-program assessments to confirm mastery of skills
