  1. Direct Instruction What is it? Teaching strategy which is teacher centered and involves lots of information being transmitted to the students. Typically known as a lecture.

  4. Considerations • Be well organized • Juggle direct instruction with other teaching strategies • Show enthusiasm, interest in the topic • Include lots of examples, illustrations, analogies, visuals • Make all your students feel personally spoken to
