How to Design Manageable Instructional Plans

Description

Designing manageable instructional plans is essential.

The goal of this Learning Set is to create and communicate instructional opportunities to promote active learner engagement in a streamlined format that will save teachers time.

The Essential Question: How do we design purposeful, streamlined, and engaging learning experiences?

Most unit, lesson, and assignment plans need streamlining to better communicate with students and families. This learning set focuses on designing a clear, compelling, and deliberate approach to frame an instructional storyline. Using a simple, learner-friendly template leads to more streamlined instructional choices. We will examine the purpose of a learning set, the critical role of essential questions, the format, and the use of icons and language to engage students.

Each Learning Set Includes:

• Brief videos from authors to orient the learner to each episode
• Framed by compelling, essential questions, purposeful goal, and concise overview
• Organized in three learning episodes with clearly stated learning targets that build on one another
• A Companion Guide with rich text and visuals
• Housed on Learner Management System (Thinkific) to promote ease of use
