The 7Es Model of Instruction
This model
emphasizes the
“transfer of
learning” and
the importance
of eliciting prior
understanding
7E’s of the Learning Cycle
Developed by
Arthur Eisenkraft
Taken from The
Science Teacher –
2003; The National
association of
Science Teachers
The Elicit Phase
As the teacher, you Students construct
need to know what
knowledge from
knowledge
existing
students have….
knowledge
important for the
Identify and clear
Transfer of
up any
Learning
misconceptions
Formative Assessment

• Class demonstration
Teacher Questioning
The Engage Phase
This is where you
need to capture the
students’ attention
You need to give
students something
to think about
Try to connect
the concepts to
their everyday
lives .. Why do
they need to
study/know
this?
This is Your “hook”
The Engage Phase
What do
you
think
about
this?
What
do you
want to
know?
What
do you
know?
What
would
you
like to
do?
The Explore Phase
Gives students a
chance to
investigate the
topic by:
Observing
Analyzing
Hypothesizing
Constructing
Organizing
Accomplished
through:
Teacher
Demonstrations
Teacher
questioning
Reading activities
Internet searches

activity
The Elaborate Phase
This is where
students apply
their new
knowledge
The knowledge
must be
extended into
new situations
Accomplished
through:
Compare and
contrast activities
Hypothetical
situations – not
identical
This is Distance
Transfer of
Learning

Evaluations should
include questions
relating to the aspects
learned through the
process.
Information gathered
Formative
from the elaborate and
extend phases should
Assessments
be used as part of the

evaluation phase … it
phase of the cycle
is an assessment!
Includes both
Formative and
Summative
