x-post/FYI: Summer Direct instruction conferences

[Guest guest]

There's a couple of conferences happening this summer that those who are

interested in Direct instruction (aka, " DI " ) or learning about DI might want to

take a look at.  Both are presented by the Association for Direct Instruction,

the folks who designed and field-tested these programs.

The first is the inauguration of a special conference focussing on students with

autism spectrum disorders, and giving workshops on programs such as Reading

Mastery, Language for Learning, Distar Arithmetic, etc.

Effective Programs for Learners With Autism Spectrum Disorders—A Direct

Instruction Conference,

Columbus, Ohio

August 16th-18th, 2010

This is the National Conference, which has presentations and trainings on a wide

variety of curricula and topics.

36th National Direct Instruction Conference And Institutes,

Eugene, Oregon

July 25–29, 2010

I did a blog post on the conferences, which is somewhat a replication of the

contents, although I also have a little video of Zig Engelmann posted and links

to online DI resource which might have some intro to the DI packages if this is

completely new.
