Editing Plan
Since our Wikipedia page is a start class article, there is plenty of room to enhance it. We would like to focus on clarifying what Direct Instruction is in comparison to direct instruction. In the talk page there is a lot of conversation about the difference between the two. Then we would like to add a section about the effectiveness of Direct Instruction in general education. If there is time, we would also like to add a sub section about the effectiveness of Direct Instruction in special education. Jeanette will be working on the effectiveness of Direct Instruction in general education as well as special education, if time permits. She will be referencing Becker, Gersten, and Keating (1998) and Cease-Cook, Test, Thompson, and Wood (2012). Estefani will be working on clarifying what Direct Instruction is as well as clarifying the difference between Direct Instruction and direct instruction. She will be referencing Hammond and Moore (2018).

So far Jeanette has edited where information was placed. She moved the 4 necessary features of ID from “History to the “Effectiveness” section. The information fits better in the “Effectiveness” section. In the “Success for All” section, she added information about how DI can benefit ELD students. She also added a visual to the page. Jeanette will continue to work on the effectiveness of DI in general education. Estefani has edited the History section. She added more information about the first formal implementation of DI. She also added information about a nationwide study done in America that included DI and the results of DI. She will continue to find information about how exactly the study measures the significance of DI. She will also try to clarify the introduction of DI.
