What does the Australian NSW department of education and training say about explicit teaching?

Back

Every student should experience explicit teaching when learning is new or complex. Explicit teaching allows students to gain foundational skills and knowledge. They can then apply their learning with greater independence. Teachers use their expertise to select the right explicit teaching strategy at the right time for the right purpose. Strengthening explicit teaching practices begins with shared understanding of key concepts.

This includes understanding how learning works, limitations of working memory and high expectations for student learning.
