What last year’s Attendees had to say:
- The Explicit Teaching Institute in Inwood, NY was one of the most practical and impactful professional learning experiences I’ve attended. Zach Groshell and the team created an experience that went far beyond theory. Every strategy was modeled, explained, practiced, rehearsed, and discussed, so I left not only understanding explicit instruction, but feeling confident implementing it in my own classroom. One of the highlights was collaborating with so many passionate, like-minded educators who are committed to improving instruction and student learning. ..I came away with concrete, actionable strategies that I can implement immediately—from classroom routines and signaling to reducing cognitive load and designing instruction that truly supports how students learn. – Kimberly Konzack
- Seeing the modeling was great. I really liked the whiteboard one, very immediately useful. Seeing the consistent getting attention practices…Can’t wait until the next one – Rhianon Leaver
- I think it was a great week! I learned a lot of information and gained many resources to refer to as well. Everyone was approachable and willing to give advice and support. I also loved that you supported the local community for lunch. Thank you for such a valuable PD. -Chantelle Persaud
- Excellent inaugural training. It was incredible. Thank you! – Lynn Gaffney
- I found all sessions valuable because together, they told the story of explicit instruction. I especially liked AJ and Christine’s sessions because they helped me envision the specificity needed for explicit instruction. – Katherine Casey Spengler
- I liked how you started with Project Follow Through and always gave the why behind the strategies. Day 3 with the retrieval and opportunities to respond was really good.
- The food was amazing. This was something I worried about before the trip. Not only was lunch amazing, but it was healthy. Thanks for including vegetables and healthy proteins each day.
