The Direct Instruction Podcast What are the Components of an Effective DI Implementation? with Tamara Bressi
Hello everyone and welcome back to the Direct Instruction podcast. My name is Dr. Zach Groshell, and today I am excited to be bringing you a glimpse into my classroom for an unscripted coaching session with Tamara Bressi. Tamara is an experienced Direct Instruction teacher, trainer and instructional coach. I had the honor of working with Tamara over the course of multiple training sessions to develop my implementation of Corrective Mathematics for a middle school intervention context. This episode is structured so that you first hear a recording of me teaching prior to receiving any training, followed by some feedback from Tamara. Then, we will listen to a “post-training” recording, where Tamara and I discuss some of the shifts I have made in implementing Direct Instruction with greater precision.
This episode is brought to you by NIFDI, or the National Institute for Direct Instruction. Our guest today is one of the trainers for the Academy on Becoming an Effective Direct Instruction Trainer, which is an integral component of the National Direct Instruction Conference held in Eugene, OR. You can find more information about the conference by going to http://www.nifdi.org, and I encourage you to register for what is the most comprehensive DI training available anywhere.
