Hello everyone and welcome back to the Direct Instruction podcast. My name is Dr. Zach Groshell, and today I am excited to be bringing you an interview with another DI legend, Geoff Colvin. Geoff will take us through the functions of student behavior, and the intersection of a well-managed classroom and a well-designed lesson.

In addition, I wanted to share with you this recording of the Progressively Incorrect podcast with Laura Stam. Laura found out about Direct Instruction through this podcast, and has found success using Reading Mastery and Connecting Math Concepts in her elementary classroom.
