Find out how and why Direct Instruction works – from the founder of DI-exclusive Mastery Schools ANZ

This webinar is for New Zealand schools only and will give first-hand insights into why DI can be such a transformative approach in Literacy and Numeracy and how it fits the NZ mandate around structured literacy.

 From 2025, all state schools in New Zealand must teach reading using an explicit, structured literacy approach – backed by a government drive to lift achievement in literacy and numeracy.

With Direct Instruction (DI), you can meet and exceed these requirements while ensuring every student in your classroom masters the fundamentals – no matter their background, ability, or starting point. 

Here’s what you’ll learn:

• Why DI works so well – especially for disadvantaged learners who struggle with standard teaching methods.

• How you can deliver DI in the classroom without adding to your workload – whether you’re completely new to it, or looking to improve.

• Exactly how and why Toni Hatten-Roberts, founder of Mastery Schools Australia and New Zealand, has implemented DI in her classrooms. And why her work has been so successful, it’s gained national attention.

Speaker
