Direct Instruction

Direct Instruction can take place in any classroom where there is a large set of content to be covered. This strategy may not always be the most fun to employ for yourself or your students, but sometimes it is a great way to get a lot of content to your students. Direct Instruction doesn't have to always be boring though. The teacher can make the lecture a lot more interesting by adding a PowerPoint as a visual and maybe attaching pictures to this presentation or video clips as examples for your students. The teacher can also add in some supplementary reading that the students may find more interesting. Direct Instruction is a very important strategy to use even if it is not always the most popular strategy. Some students may even prefer this strategy. Some might not like being in a group discussion or a whole class seminar, and simply prefer being provided the material from their teacher, studying it, and then being assessed on the material.
