The Structure of Instructional Design: Exploring The Body, Brain and Soul of Teaching

Research has provided many strategies for effective classroom instruction and lesson organization. Throughout my lesson, I used direct/ explicit instruction model that I have learned from different education courses and readings to serve as a model for my instruction. Rosenshine

These two elements of classroom are intrinsically linked, as differentiated instruction is well suited to the three principles in UDL. By focusing on CAST’s three systems and appropriate teaching methods, particularly recognition, strategic and affective, the guide aims to identify ways in which differentiated instruction coordinates UDL theory. Varying theories have been proven to be affective in supporting different skills as students learn, from gifted and talented to those providing more support in special education programs.

Curriculum, as stated by Glickman (2014) “is the what of instruction”. Additionally, Ornstein and Hunkins, (as cited by Glickman, Gordon and Ross-Gordon, 2014) have listed the elements of the curriculum and they “are sequence and continuity, scope and balance”. The mastery with which a teacher can incorporate the elements of the curriculum in instruction is categorized by levels. The levels of teacher involvement in curriculum implementation are described and exemplfied

She was faced with the challenge of teaching a wide range of learner pathways while striving to maximize the learning for all her students grades first through eighth. While what my grandmother faced over eighty years ago is an obvious exaggeration in differentiation; the reality is that each class room in our schools is a microcosm of that environment. Each student learns through different pathways and it is the role of each teacher to maximize their learning potential by differentiating their instructional practices. Hence, the teachers of my school must strive to connect students and academic content through a responsive instructional practice that is reflective of the needs of their students (Tomlinson, C., Brimijoin, K., & Narvaez, L.,

What the learning theories tell you about different ways to help learners learn most effectively

The three different learning environments studied have a few similarities. Each type has some form of classroom, an instructor imparting the subject material to the learner, subject material, and expectation of the student will successfully learn the material.

In this paper, I will be discussing the real value that instructional strategies have to offer. I will also be discussing my research on two scholarly articles that I have found to support my case. The two main articles that I have selected for this paper are peer reviewed and have created discussion in the past. My research has made it known that instructional strategies lean on effective teaching. Every student has their own way with how they learn. It can be challenging for a teacher, but there are different learning methods that help educators reach out to their students properly. While curriculum is the heart of education, but being able to teach effectively is the key. A teaching strategy is simply used to deliver important information

The LEA lesson plan created in Literacy 1, demonstrate my ability to effectively utilize of a variety of appropriate instructional methods. The LEA lesson encompasses teacher modeling, whole group writing, independent writing, and kinesthetic, verbal, and visual learning methods. Furthermore, this lesson plan addresses objectives, assessments, and the various rates of learning in the classroom.

Include what the teacher will be doing AND what the students will be doing in each segment of the instructional design.

Content, Process, Products, and Learning environment are four elements teachers use to differentiated instructions: Content is when the student is requirement to learn or how the student will find access to the information. This is when a teacher will meet with small groups of students. Ex. Within these groups she will know her struggling learners and the students who she needs to expand their thinking skills. Process the teacher will give students different course work to see if the students have mastered the content. Ex. Teacher can give her hands on students different manipulative they can use to perform a task. Products the teacher will come up with different projects for students to practice, relate, and expand what she has learned. Ex. Students will work by themselves or teacher will put them in small groups on their

Instructional design (ID) can be dated back to World War II, being used for development of military services (Garrett & Benson, 2017). Then adapted to the realm of education in the 1970’s, and is still a large component in education (Garrett & Benson, 2017). Education is an ever-changing field, where there are always new initiatives, some of the core initiatives set forth by the United States Department of Education are: Higher standards of learning, and more useful assessments and data (United States Department of Education, n.d.). “Instruction is a systematic process in which every component (i.e. teacher, students, materials and learning environment) is crucial to successfully learning” (as cited in Isman, 201). Isman stated four principles that played a key roll in the instructional process that helped to

Education has been enhanced in recent history and every educator now seeks the best method of teaching their students. This paper explores 5 sources of information that define and describe the personalized system for instruction teaching model used in today’s classrooms. There is an in-depth analysis about what exactly the model entails as well what it looks like when it is used in an actual lesson plan. The paper also talks about research on the effects of the personalized system of instruction in a high school setting. I will then conclude the paper with all the benefits of the instructional model it has on learning in the classroom.

In their explanation Ertmer and Newby (2013) point out the essentials of learning theories and how they assists individuals or group of people to learn. Further, Ertmer and Newby (2013) endorses learning theories as foundation and prerequisite for strategies that instructional designers need when developing those techniques that facilitate learning. Many experts has singled out the three learning theories namely; cognitivism, behaviorism, and constructivism which have provided explicit understanding of the learning process. Among the first theories which according to Driscoll (2005) was curved from the field of psychology was behaviorism. Behaviorism right from the 20th century has concentrated on how stimulus together with reinforcement affect

In this chapter, what stood out to me the most is “differentiated instruction” as outlined by Woolfolk (2016, p.553). In the Glossary of Educational Psychology by Anita Woolfolk, differentiated instruction is defined as “a flexible approach to teaching that matches content, process, and product based on students’ differences
