When implemented fully, Direct Instruction (DI) is unparalleled in improving student performance and enhancing students’ self-esteem. To implement DI effectively, more is required than simply purchasing instructional materials. Our two-part tutorial guides administrators, teachers, and coaches through the key features of a successful DI implementation. Part I provides an overview of the steps schools need to take in preparation for a DI implementation before school starts, while Part II provides an overview of the steps schools need to take after school has started.

IMPORTANT: This tutorial is an intensive video series comprising 18 segments, each followed by a set of questions. Users should allow approximately three hours to watch the videos and complete the questions. NIFDI recognizes the high demand on school officials’ time and, for this reason, has structured the tutorial so that users may stop at any time and resume later where they left off.
