The “Best Practices in Direct Instruction” video showed how teachers can use direct instruction to teach students. This method consists of teaching the students as a whole directly. Next, teachers check for understanding by asking questions about the material by using a cue such as a noise or pointing finger to get the students to respond back and show that they understand. This step is important to ensure that all the children have understood the concept that has been taught. The teaching is mostly done in a whole group setting, with small amounts of direct assessment such as a “checkout” to see if children are progressing when reading (Stevens, 2011).

It also teaches children responsibility and self- paced learning to target different achievement levels. Family and parents are deeply involved too, which allows learning to carry over into the home. The Montessori school gives different approaches to allow everyone and everything around a child to influence their education (Mmcsfi,
