What Is Explicit Direct Instruction (EDI)® ?
EDI® was developed by Dataworks founders, Dr. Silvia Ybarra and John Hollingsworth. EDI® focuses on improving education at the lesson level by incorporating a strategic collection of instructional practices from the work of educational and cognitive researchers such as Hattie, Rosenshine, Hunter, Sousa, and Marzano. When all of the research is combined, you get EDI®.
The extensive classroom experience of the Dataworks founders and staff has proven that direct instruction is more effective and efficient, especially for struggling students and English learners.

What Does the DataWorks (EDI)® Workshop Cover?
This 2-part online workshop provides coaching for the strategies covered by Explicit Direct Instruction (EDI). This leads to increased teacher retention for the following:
Brain Research
Dataworks provides an overview of brain research. We explain how the human brain learns and stores information. This helps teachers understand the importance of the lesson delivery strategies in Explicit Direct Instruction EDI® .
Engagement Norms
Practice with Student Engagement Norms. Dataworks Engagement Norms are used in thousands of classrooms around the world because they work. They include eight strategies that keep students engaged and actively participating in every lesson.
Checking for Understanding
Most teachers know how to ask questions and call on students for responses. But are teachers asking the right questions to the right students? EDI® has simple tips to help teachers ask powerful, probing questions to non-volunteers that will change the culture of the classroom and accurately assess learning in real-time.
Lesson Design Components
Create a culture of instructional excellence by providing common procedures for lessons. We cover the critical components of the Explicit Direct Instruction (EDI)® lesson design; learning objective, activate prior knowledge, concept development, sill development with guided practice, relevance, and closure.
Core Concepts for Explicit Direct Instruction (EDI)®
Checking for Understanding (CFU)
There are checking for understanding questions directly on the slides so teachers can make sure students are learning. If students can’t answer the question, reteach that slide.
Whiteboard Questions
The questions are set up for whiteboard responses so teachers can see all student answers.
Complete Sentences
Have the students answer in complete sentences using academic language.
Periodic Review
The lessons include periodic review so students will retain the information.
Pronounce With Me
Have students practice harder to read words in the lesson.
Choral Reading
Have the students chorally read the key information on the page.
Non-Volunteers
Call on non-volunteers to make sure everyone is learning.
Rule of Two
The lessons provide match problems so the teacher can work one and the students can work the other. Teacher works one question, the student works the other.
Pair Share
All students answer every question using academic language.
Sentence Frames
Questions include a sentence frame to ask the kids to answer in complete sentences using academic language.
