Direct Interactive Instruction (DII) and Behaviors of learning and Teaching (BLT)

Objective: To explore and discuss how Direct Interactive Instruction (DII) and the Behaviors of Learning and Teaching (BLT) are interconnected and compliment each other.

THINK-PAIR-SHARE: 1. What is Direct Interactive Instruction

(DII)?

2. What is the primary purpose?

DIRECT INTERACTIVE INSTRUCTIONDII

DII is an instructional strategy that benefits ALL children because it is direct and explicit and because it visits and revisits lesson objectives and vocabulary.

DII strategies guide teachers to disaggregate and sequence even the most difficult concepts at the highest levels of cognition.

8 CHARACTERISTICS OF DII

☐ Standards and Objectives are clearly and explicitly stated for every exercise for both teacher and students.☐ Instructional communication is predetermined.☐ Students participate in a sequence of short, quick-paced interactive exercises.☐ Throughout the lesson, there is a high level of intensity and a high level of orientation for success.

☐ There is continuous and intensive interaction and communication between teacher and student.☐ During the structured/scripted dialogue teacher wordings and demonstrations are unambiguous.☐ Students receive immediate correctives and feedback from teacher.☐ Teacher reinforces student learning with explicit procedures.

DIRECT INTERACTIVE INSTRUCTION

Quick Review:I Do It and You Watch.

Input and Model Visual and Verbal Talk about the thinking (Metacognitive

Demonstration)

Quick Review:We Do It Together.

Structured Practice Teacher paced Lock‐step Walk through an example Lead through the steps, the process, the

order, and the rule Demonstration of “self‐correction” Pre‐Correctives Questions—“Next step?”

Quick Review:You Do It. I Support.

Guided Practice More examples (student- ‐paced, teacher

monitored) Praise- ‐Prompt- ‐Leave strategy Pre- ‐Correctives and Correctives Build accuracy Change one or more components, more

complexity

Quick Review:You Do It.

Independent Practice Delayed feedback Correctives should be minor Distributed over time—Build retention Increase speed and accuracy (fluency)

THINK-PAIR-SHARE 2.0 1. What are the Behaviors of Learning

and Teaching (BLT)?

2. What is the primary purpose?

BEHAVIORS OF LEARNING AND TEACHING (BLT) Linked learning is….

Collaborative- Working with others Student Directed- Work students

lead Outcome Focused– Work with a

goal Relevant- Work that matters Rigorous and Integrated- Work

that challenges

PURPOSE: The Behaviors of Learning and

Teaching (BLT) Continuum describes the progress of students, teachers and industry and community partners in developing the Linked Learning behaviors for learning and teaching (BLTs) that dramatically improve student motivation, engagement and empowerment, understanding, and achievement.
