Siegfried Engelmann was one of the developers of "Direct Instruction" , and his site http://www.zigsite.com/ has his published works supporting DI. An overview of DI is at http://psych.athabascau.ca/html/387/OpenModules/Engelmann/Engelmannbio.html .

Someone who wants to have an informed opinion of DI could browse these sites as well as those of the critics of DI.
