In this Guide to Explicit and Direct Instruction, Adam Boxer has edited the definitive overview for educators to know the research on explicit and direct instruction. This Guide can be a lens for educators to think about and evaluate what they are taught in teacher prep and what they are trained in as professionals. With that, educators can apply the research and evidence in their own classroom and school setting.
