Explicit Instruction: Effective and Efficient Teaching (What Works for Special-Needs Learners)

If you've ever heard Dr. Archer speak, you know she is a unique, dynamic presenter. This book has her voice all through it. She "cuts the fluff and teaches the stuff" in an easy to use, straightforward manner. I use this book often when I am working with teachers who need quality strategies for their teacher toolbox. Highly recommend this book to all educators.

As a 20 year educator, this is one of the most important books in my library. I highly recommend it. It synthesizes the most important elements of instruction. If everyone taught this way, we would have few problems in education. The entire continent of Australia has adopted this. If you are familiar with the highly effective and research based Direct Instruction, this will apply those elements to curricula not in DI format. Start a book club with colleagues and read this first. Anita Archer is brilliant and models this approach to instruction in videos.

OUTSTANDING book. I bought this second-hand and it is like brand new. I am very satisfied with the seller and the book.

This books is super helpful for professional development!

I love this book! She writes just how she talks in person. I have found Explicit Instruction to be very helpful in my teaching career so far. She simply explains her points and makes them easy to approach and implement. I highly recommend this book. However, I would recommend that this book work in tandem with a more open, explorative approach. Thank you Anita!

This is an excellent book for any teacher wanting to learn more about strategies you can take, specific strategies, for various areas of instruction. There are very clear directions. This book is designed for a special education teacher and will be something I use a lot in my practice. Each strategy area is very clearly outlined . Excellent tool.

It's a textbook. Very informative and cheaper hear than a college book store.

Anita Archer has done it again! This is a wonderful book on direct instruction for special education and regular education alike. Direct instruction is an efficient method of teaching anyone. This book is a detailed, easy to understand and use, handbook for how to use direct instruction for all teachers. It is also a great manual for future teachers.
