Application of Walkthroughs to Schools Focusing on Explicit Instruction Practices
Educators all have the same goal—to help students make the maximum possible academic gains in a positive and respectful environment that promotes success and nurtures their desire to learn.

Explicit instruction is a structured, systematic, and effective methodology for teaching academic skills. It is considered an unambiguous and direct approach that includes instructional design and delivery procedures. The majority of information will be shared by one of Dr. Archer’s trainees, Gina Fulton. This fifth webinar of six is titled Application of Walk-Throughs to Schools Focusing on Explicit Instruction Practices.
