Guided student inquiry, known as the Launch, Explore, Summarise instructional model, often comes with confusion about where explicit teaching fits. Let us guide you through an interactive lesson where we will focus on spotlighting students' thinking and reflect on the importance of anticipating what you would be looking for then leading to the summary phase where the explicit teaching fits. We will demonstrate how key concepts are clarified, misconceptions addressed, and new knowledge explicitly imparted within these lessons. We will highlight the strategies for implementation in your own classroom and show you how educators can effectively integrate explicit teaching within the Launch, Explore, Summarise instructional model, ensuring that students receive targeted support while engaging in meaningful exploration and discovery.

Key takeaways:
1. Clarity on where explicit teaching fits within guided student inquiry.
2. Strategies for spotlighting student thinking and anticipating their needs.
3. Practical methods for integrating explicit teaching into the Launch, Explore, Summarise model.
