What is Complex Instruction?
This page provides an overview of Complex Instruction for you to explore on your own, as part of a methods course, or with a study group. This overview focuses on three features of Complex Instruction: (1) delegation of authority; (2) groupworthy, multiple ability tasks; and (3) treatment of status issues.
