Chloe Sanders, teacher at Midland Academies in the United Kingdom, talks about the role the Engelmann Foundation is playing in helping to bring Direct Instruction to schools in the UK through a government bid program–a project years in the making–and the importance of highly trained professionals in implementing the programs. Ms. Sanders adds that England has a big push to offer only programs supported by research and evidence–key features making DI their program of choice in Math and English. The coordinated support between the National Institute for Direction Instruction (NIFDI) and the financial backing of the Engelmann Foundation through the Conference Grant Program made the trip to the National Direct Instruction Conferences in Institutes in Eugene, OR for her and her colleagues possible.
