SCHOOL FOR THOUGHT

Teaching that really schmecks

So here I am in Florida. I’ll be here for two weeks and, during this time, I hope to be able to bring you Florida stories - since this is a happening state when it comes to school choice and educational improvement. But first, a story from Darlington County in South Carolina where the teachers are implementing Explicit Direct Instruction (explained in the video clip). If you think about it, this really shouldn’t create headlines - explicit direct instruction is really just a fancy way to say good teaching - but such are the times, everyone gets quite excited at the prospect of teachers who actually teach.
