How can we reconcile the new explicit teaching agenda with decades of research-driven progressive pedagogical practices, without compromising the depth of critical and creative thinking, student agency, differentiation, and inquiry-based learning that these approaches have long championed?
There are ways to integrate both approaches in a balanced way. It’s not about abandoning one in favor of the other, but about blending the strengths of both systems to create a more holistic approach to teaching and learning.

The rise of explicit teaching has educators seeking ways to balance student-centred learning. How can structured instruction enhance, not replace, creativity, inquiry, and differentiation?
A BOTH/AND approach blends explicit teaching with proven pedagogical practices—without compromising student agency, deep thinking, or engagement.

Lane was...completely gobsmacking! Once you know her stuff, you can't ignore it...You must get sick of hearing it - but it really is mind blowing. Please thank Lane for us, again. Can't wait to have her back! Bernadette S., Teacher, VIC.
Lane's workshop was one of the most inspirational PD workshops I have attended for a long time…I can't wait to begin implementing the strategies that I learnt about today.

This was one of the most thought provoking sessions I have ever been to. I even changed my next breakout so I could go to her next session.
