Have you ever experienced one of those guided painting classes? Instructors model for us different techniques, demonstrate how to create specific images, provide lots of guided practice with feedback... and in the end, we have become Picasso!  (Or at least we feel that way!)  This is explicit instruction.

In this episode, Dr. Merissa Waddey, a special education consultant with the Northern Kentucky Cooperative for Educational Services in Northern Kentucky speaks on the what, why, how, and for whom of Explicit Instruction.
