TEACHER TALK
Explicit Instruction is teaching in which the teacher explains a skill (what it is and when and why to use it), models how to perform it, guides practice, and offers independent practice.
Be sure to schedule
time for students
to work on the unit
inquiry project,
"Learning About Money." This
week students combine information to
develop answers to their questions.
