Answer to Question 1

ANSWER: Many students actually prefer low-level learning, teachers have low expectations for low learners, and there are high costs involved in effective instruction stressing cognitive development.

Answer to Question 2

ANSWER: Direct instruction involves review, teacher presentation of material, guided practice, feedback, and independent practice. Explicit comprehension instruction systematically stresses teacher modeling of conceptual learning, linking of new knowledge and concepts to prior learning, monitoring of students' comprehension, and some explicit training for students in summarizing, drawing inferences, and other learning strategies to improve comprehension.
