The document outlines 5 phases of instruction: engagement, exploration, explanation, extension, and evaluation. In the engagement phase, teachers capture student attention and access prior knowledge. During exploration, students investigate and organize information. In explanation, students analyze their exploration and modify their understanding with teacher guidance. Extension allows students to expand and apply their learning. Evaluation provides self-assessment and teacher evaluation of students.

The teacher captures the
student's attention,
stimulates their thinking
and helps them access
prior knowledge.

think, plan, investigate, and organize
collected information.

an analysis of their exploration.
Their understanding is clarified
and modified as their teacher
explains the new concept.

This the phase that gives
students the opportunity to
expand and solidify their
understanding of the concept
and/or apply it to a real world
situation.
