Explicit Instruction in Reading, Writing, and 21^st Century Skills

Expert 21 includes all of the materials, resources and strategies that educators will need to facilitate instruction, conversation and exploration in the classroom. Organized around a "model, mentor, monitor" framework, teachers will find explicit support to lead engaging lessons, discussions, and activities.

Teachers are directed to use the Scholastic Achievement Manager (SAM) for more than 500 additional resources for differentiating instruction. These are directly available from reports or via a simple keyword search online.

Embedded Support for Differentiated Instruction
Throughout the Expert 21 Teacher’s Edition, teachers are guided on how to differentiate for varying levels of proficiency in the classroom. In addition, teachers are provided with explicit guidance on how to make instruction accessible to English language learners.
