Schools and districts that have caught the bug for Direct and Explicit Instruction know that meaningful implementation requires meaningful professional learning. Registration is now open for the Explicit Teaching Institute NYC — a five-day deep dive into the science of learning and systematic instruction.

Dates: July 27–31, 2026

Each day combines research, observation, and rehearsal:

  • Mornings: unpacking the cognitive science behind effective instruction
  • Midday sessions: analyzing expert teaching through video study
  • Afternoons: rehearsing the instructional moves that make teaching clear, efficient, and reliable

This is hands-on professional development designed to build both knowledge and skill. You’ll leave with practical tools you can apply immediately—and the confidence that comes from deliberate practice and feedback.

“Just Tell Them” PD.
No fluff. No vague theory. Just better teaching.

Bring your team. See you in NYC.
