Explicit Instruction
Online Course

Enhance Your Skills with Our Explicit Instruction Online Course
Our 5-week, self-paced online course will help you master the art of Explicit Instruction — a proven, research-based approach that engages every student and boosts learning outcomes.

This course is designed for teachers across all year levels. It offers clear steps for confident teaching and practical strategies to create a structured, supportive classroom where students are attentive, motivated, and experiencing real success.

With expert guidance from Julie Binfield and Andrea Wylie, you’ll learn how to:

  • Teach with clarity, precision, and confidence.
  • Break down critical content into manageable steps.
  • Engage students with frequent responses and active participation.
  • Deliver lessons that maximise retention and learning success.
At Literacy Connections, we start with strengths, not deficits. This course builds on what you already know, giving you not more to do — but better ways to do it. Our focus is on strategies you can use straight away, supported by examples that fit into your daily practice.

Because lasting change matters, this isn’t about a “one and done” workshop. It’s about sustainable change, not quick fixes — building confidence and capability you can carry forward into every lesson.

Explicit Instruction works because it keeps equity at the heart of teaching. For us, equity is the lens, literacy is the focus — and explicit, research-based teaching is how we help every learner thrive.
