In the Direct Instruction model, clear goals and expectations need to be developed for the various steps of instruction. This allows the teacher to identify when students are able to move from guided to independent practice, and to recognize what foundational knowledge and skills students might have already or that she needs to help cultivate in the guided practice step.
