GOAL: To Equip Teachers with Strategies for Explicit Delivery of Content

This toolkit focuses on the ability to identify all of the planning steps that teachers use to determine goals, content, methods, and media, as well as the appropriate use of examples for explanation to students.

• Involves the ability of teachers to facilitate communication of content in order to maximize student understanding

• Requires teachers to have a deep understanding of what they are teaching and why, how to provide effective instruction through explicit delivery of content, and what successful learning looks like for different learners
