Direct Instruction

DI programs teach children to read, write, think, and do math from very simple beginnings to more advanced work. Experts on curriculum research and development from the University of Oregon have painstakingly constructed these programs over the last three decades. In participating in the largest research project ever, they proved to be far better than all other programs in the project.

Core Knowledge

The Core Knowledge programs of E.D. Hirsch are based on his books on Cultural Literacy. An increasing number of charter schools in the U.S. are using these programs.
