What is Embedded Instruction for Early Learning? (EIEL)
Embedded instruction is an approach to instruction that focuses on identifying times and activities when instructional procedures designed for teaching a child's priority learning targets are implemented in the context of ongoing [naturally-occurring] activities, routines, and transitions in the classroom.
Research Support for Embedded Instruction
Research has evaluated embedded instruction with both early childhood and school age children with disabilities. Available evidence suggests that embedded instruction is an effective approach for providing instruction for students with disabilities within and across the on-going classroom activities, routines, and transitions.
