Explicit Direct Instruction (EDI) for English Learners Lesson Plan Feedback
 
A DataWORKS researcher goes to the school to provide feedback on how well teachers are designing lessons that include researched components that help students learn more and learn faster. Instructional leaders must attend to learn how to give Lesson Feedback to teachers to support effective and ongoing implementation.

Why is Explicit Direct Instruction for English Learners Lesson Plan Feedback valuable?
 
Meeting with teachers and providing feedback on their lessons facilitates rapid and correct implementation of the strategies covered during the workshop.
Students don’t benefit from staff development that is not implemented.

How does it work?
 
A DataWORKS researcher goes to the school to provide feedback on EDI lessons written and designed by teachers that incorporate English Learner strategies to accelerate English Learners.
Typically, the school uses roving subs to periodically pull out groups of teachers. The teachers meet with a DataWORKS researcher to review the lessons they have written. Feedback is given on correct use of English Learner strategies, and use of effective lesson delivery components. Teachers are pulled out by grade level or content area to meet in a conference room provided by the school.
This process should be repeated until all teachers are effectively incorporating English Learner Strategies into their written lessons that accelerate second language learners.
