<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">This article about Direct Instruction appeared on the Fordham Institute page. It refers to a new meta-analysis in the journal,
<i>Review of Educational Research</i>. For SIM Professional Developers, this is an article of interest because parts of SIM are direct instruction. I also posted this on our FaceBook page, where, more recently, I have been posting most news. You can join us
