students to follow directions than clear communication. The key to effective directions is to stand in one place and circulate only after all students have begun the task. Teachers stand in one place when giving directions and adjust directions until all students are engaged in learning. Teachers may call a few students to them for a short mini-lesson or to model a strategy. The goal is for all students to be able to begin the task following teacher directions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Directions for peer discussions are one of the most complex and difficult types of directions that teachers use in every lesson. Use the resources below to learn about the components of peer discussion directions and how to adjust directions in response to student learning needs. Understanding how to give directions is an essential component of implementing effective learning routines that meet the specific needs of students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Practical Tips for Teaching Online Small Group Discussions<\/strong>.
