7 E's

The 7E model is an instructional model used to design lessons that engage students in the learning process. The 7E's are: Elicit, Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, Extend, and Evaluate. Elicit involves assessing students' prior knowledge. Engage aims to spark curiosity. Explore provides hands-on activities for students to investigate. Explain involves explaining concepts to build understanding. Elaborate allows students to apply their learning. Extend encourages applying concepts in new ways. Evaluate assesses student learning and allows for self-reflection.

7E stands for Elicit, Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, Extend and Evaluate.

7E stands for Elicit, Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, Extend and Evaluate.

Elicit
In most cases you will start with the “Elicit”. Here you can find out what the students
know by eliciting responses from them. This can be done in a variety of ways, such as
“Quick Quizes, MCQs, Post-it notes, mini whiteboards, KWL, traffic lights etc. This is
also a good opportunity to deal with students misunderstandings.

Engage
The next stage is the “Engage” stage. This can come before or after the elicit stage. In
this stage you want to engage interest and curiosity, raise “The BIG questions” and
provide the “HOOK” for why the students want to learn.

Explore
During the “Explore” stage, pupils should be given opportunities to work together,
independent of you,their teacher to explore. As the teacher, you should set up the task,
but then become the facilitator, helping students by asking questions and observing. (In
Scientific enquiry using Piagets theory, this is a time for disequilibrium. This is an
opportunity for students to test their predictions, problem solve, research, ultimately find
out themselves.)

Explain
Following the explore stage I would next go onto the “Explain” stage of the lesson.
During this stage I would use what students had discovered in the explore stage to help
them build a concept. I would try to encourage the students to explain concepts and
definitions in their own words, ask for justification and clarification before providing them
with new labels, definitions and theory.

Elaborate
The next stage is the stage that will be KEY in assessing their progress, knowledge and
understanding. Students may work independently during this stage to demonstrate
learning. This is where students formalise and apply their learning.

Extend
In some cases you may require an additional “Extend” stage. In this stage you are
encouraging the students to apply or extend the concepts and skills in new situations.
Students make connections not just in the subject/ideas studied but also beyond it.
They are able to apply ideas/generalise and transfer principles.

Evaluate
While it is expected that evaluation will continue throughout the process, the evaluate
section is the section where you the teacher evaluate the learning that has occurred.
This should also include self-reflection and evaluation from the student. I personally link
back to the learning outcomes to assess the progress that has been made.
