Explicit Teaching Expectations, Cues and Prompts

Explicit Teaching - Printable Teacher Resources

Make your teaching crystal clear (and your expectations even clearer) with classroom resources designed to support explicit teaching from warm-up to wrap-up. This collection includes visual cues, prompts and posters that walk students through Gradual Release of Responsibility (I do, we do, you do), structure Think, Pair, Share discussions, and set out mini whiteboard expectations so everyone knows what active participation looks like.

These explicit teaching resources are perfect for modelling, guided practice and independent work. Use them as anchor charts on your walls, desk prompts, or drop them straight into your slide decks for digital displays. Each poster is written in student-friendly language so learners can quickly refer back during lessons and routines.

Whether you’re new to explicit instruction or refining your practice, these visuals help answer “What is explicit teaching?” in a way students actually understand: clear steps, consistent routines, and predictable structures that support success for all learners – especially those who need more scaffolding and repetition.
