In explicit teaching, there is a need for the teacher to model the behavior to the students. 

Teachers should be specific & direct enough to make learning accessible to all students in the class.

In explicit teaching, the students restate the lesson objectives back to the teacher in their own words.

The teacher presents the steps both orally and visually to meet needs of learners. 

The teacher explains what the task is, why is it important, and add to it, why it is done. 

The teacher may use a visual model to demonstrate a concept being taught when necessary. 

Explicit Teaching is teacher-centered

Students practice different kinds of problems during the guided practice time. 

Students are deprived of working or completing the task independently. 

The assessment of students performance in explicit teaching must be done formally
