*Friday, February 13th @ 1pm PT*
This free webinar will provide an overview of all Direct Instruction
programs for teaching numeracy. This session will help you understand the
intended audience for each Authentic Direct Instruction math program. Use
of the programs in general or special education sessions will be
highlighted, along with other considerations in program selection.
Appropriate sequencing will be featured. Scheduling, in terms of time and
frequency, will also be discussed.

Questions answered will include:

   - How does one decide whether to use Corrective Math or Connecting Math
   Concepts?
   - When to use DISTAR Arithmetic I vs. Connecting Math Concepts Level A
   - When should one begin using Essentials for Algebra?
   - Is there a fast-track for any of the programs?
   - And much more!

The session will have time for questions and answers. You may also send
your questions in advance to info at nifdi.org, and we will be sure to answer
them.

*How Direct Instruction Embodies the Science of Learning
<https://www.nifdi.org/training-events/events-calendar/free-event/di-sor.html>*
*Thursday, February 26th @ 4pm PT*
Presented by noted education consultant Dr. Zach Groshell, this 60-minute
webinar will detail how Direct Instruction programs align with the research
in cognitive science and educational psychology. Examples from the DI
programs will demonstrate how the careful instructional sequencing,
scripting of the programs, checking for mastery, and other features
optimize student learning and retention. Zach will also discuss the
importance of leadership and effective, ongoing professional development,
both of which are critical to the successful implementation of DI.
