"The teacher decides the academic goals of direct instruction and shares with them her students. Throughout the class, she demonstrates concepts and skills through modeling. She checks in routinely with students to assess their level of engagement and comprehension. Based on what is revealed in this assessment process, she makes a determination about whether or not students need further clarification on a topic or are ready for more material. Direct instruction classes must also include both guided and independent practice opportunities that use related, but different examples." Bold School, Kieschnick p. 101
