=E5 Instructional Model=

The model provides a common language for teachers to describe and discuss quality instruction. It is based on 5 phases of instruction: Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate and Evaluate. It describes what teachers operating at different levels do in their instructional practice, and therefore provides a tool for teachers to reflect on their own teaching practice and to see what they should do to move to the next level. The descriptors at each level are evidence-based and describe what you would see or hear teachers doing in the classroom.

The E5 instructional model does not replace PoLT! In fact, the E5 is very closely linked in with the PoLT in that POLT describes WHAT good teachers do in the classroom, and the E5 describes HOW this happens.
