TWO-DAY WORKSHOP

Unpacking Explicit
Instruction and the Science
of Learning

Join renowned teaching and learning expert Lane Clark for an exclusive 2-day in-person workshop!

Only One Session This Year – Don’t Miss Out! Maximum 25 spots available!

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?

Come and learn how to integrate both approaches in a balanced way.

It’s not about abandoning one in favour of the other, but rather blending the strengths of both pedagogies to create a more holistic approach to teaching and learning.

Join Lane for a deep dive into the cognitive science that supports explicit instruction AND structured inquiry—complementary approaches on the learning continuum.

This is the only opportunity in 2025 to experience Lane’s powerful insights on explicit teaching, the gaps and silences in its 'rollout' and the place it holds within the pedagogical ecosystem—this is an event you won’t want to miss!
