The Madeline Hunter Method A type of “direct instruction” An Outline of Direct Instruction: 1.Objectives 2.Standards 3.Anticipatory Set 4.Teaching 5.Guided Practice/monitoring 6.Closure 7.Independent Practice

Her Theory Put into Practice 1. Objectives Before lesson – teacher must have a clear vision of what students should be able to do and understand 2. Standards During the lesson, students should have an explanation of the type of lesson, procedures to be followed, and behavior expectations

3. Anticipatory Set: grabs student attention: relates experiences of students to the objectives of the lesson 4. Teaching Input – provide information needed for students to gain knowledge or skill Model – show students examples of what is expected Check for understanding

5.Guided Practice/monitoring – each student demonstrates their grasp of new learning under the teacher’s direct supervision 6.Closure – statements by teacher designed to bring a lesson to an appropriate conclusion 7. Independent Practice – reinforcement practice on a repeating schedule so that the learning is not forgotten Click for definition/ examples

Does it work? “When using Direct Instruction as the Framework for planning, the teacher increases his/her effectiveness by considering the following seven elements as they "bring alive" the content or as they "scaffold" the learning needs of the students. Teacher decision making is the basis of this approach to teaching. "Decide, then design" is the foundation on which all successful instruction is built.” Click me!
