Unleashing the Power of Best First Instruction
Goodwin, Bryan
McREL International
Policymakers and educators have attempted to "reform" or fix schools in different ways. However studies suggest these reforms have produced, at best, mixed results (Fullan, 2011; Taylor & Tyler, 2012; Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, 2015) and did little to close racial and socioeconomic achievement gaps (Reardon et al., 2013). Through a review of scientific studies of teaching strategies in classrooms with diverse learners, a team at McREL International has discovered (or perhaps re-discovered) that best first instruction has tremendous impact on student learning--equivalent to months or years of additional learning while closing achievement gaps. The white paper defines what is best first instruction and creates a framework for implementation in a classroom. For a more in-depth presentation and analysis of the review, McREL with ASCD published the book "The New Classroom Instruction That Works: The Best Research-Based Strategies for Increasing Student Achievement" (ED624202).
