The Direct Instruction Podcast DI Voices #8: Bryce Kennedy
I’m thrilled to share a new project straight from the heart of this year’s National Direct Instruction Conference and Institutes — a new YouTube playlist I’ve put together called DI Voices.
Armed with just my phone and a little persistence, I tracked down educators between sessions (no small feat at this amazing, high-energy event!) to capture bite-sized, on-the-ground conversations about what Direct Instruction looks like in real schools, with real students, and real support.
In this mini-episode, Bryce Kennedy of Mastery Schools, Australia shares how his team is building a school model around the consistent, high-fidelity use of Direct Instruction. From student growth to staff development, Bryce offers an international perspective on what’s possible when DI isn’t just a program — it’s the foundation.

These mini-episodes aren’t slick or scripted — they’re raw, real, and packed with insight. You’ll hear from teachers, principals, researchers, and NIFDI team members who are doing the work and generously sharing their experiences.
