The instructional models key does a great job of illustrating what lessons are appropriate for certain lessons. I think that for particular lesson that a teacher wants to teach, there are specific formats that should be used. For instance, a science lesson plan format may need to look very different from an ELA lesson format, due to the difference in goals, objectives, standards, etc.
Using this model a teacher can decide what key ideas need to be hit and how to design his/her lesson around that. Learner style is another key concept that needs to be kept in mind as well. Not all students are the same, nor do they learn the same. Teachers need to be aware of this and tailor instuction according to that.
I would recommend teachers keep this model handy when planning any future lesson.
My name is Pam and I am a grad student at MSMC. I am passionate about teaching young children and I am so thankful for everything I have learned thus far at MSMC. My blog is titled Teaching to Learn and Learning to Teach because I believe that we are all lifelong learners. As we move into our careers as teachers we will be continuously learning from our peers and students. Happy blogging!
The Way of the Future
We are the 21st Century Teachers
