Just-In-Time Direct Instruction

Direct instruction is available to students when it is needed regardless of the availability of an in-person teacher.

  • Video: 6th grade teacher using a small group station to go deep into reading with at-risk readers

Note: Many of the resources under “varied learning strategies” address just-in-time direct instruction within these strategies!

learners in the lesson.

This can include, but is not limited to:

how they access material, how they build knowledge with

tools, how they communicate with the teacher.
