Instructional
Plan Design Analysis
Three instructional plan templates constructed by a variety of
leaders in education provide solid examples of what quality instructional plans
should include. The work of Madeline Hunter dates the furthest back and is
still used today, primarily in the elementary setting. Grant Wiggins and Jay
McTighe provide a more modern approach to curriculum and lesson design with
their model of Understanding by Design (UbD). Others, as modeled by the New
York State Educational Department, work closely to align their instructional
plans with the Common Core State Standards.
Review each of the provided instructional plan designs:
·
Common Core Aligned Instructional plan
Template
·
Understanding by Design-Backwards Design Lesson Template
·
Madeline Hunter’s Instructional
Plan Format
Analyze each instructional plan and structure a Word document,
essay-style as such:
a. Introduction: Introduce
the essential elements, purpose, and value of creating and following a
high-quality instructional plan. Include a thesis stating your intent to
highlight key elements of each respective plan as well as your intent to
identify what you find to be the most effective plan while justifying your
reasoning.
b. Body: Discuss
the following for EACH instructional plan design. (Do not list—this is
paragraph format without headings/subheadings.)
o
The source’s name (i.e., Hunter).
o
Key components representing most essential instructional plan
requirements (standard, objective, activities, assessments, etc.).
o
Unique components (What makes each plan different from the
others? What is notably missing or added compared to the others?).
o
Description of how Gradual Release of Responsibility Model is or
is not represented.
o
Description of how assessment is embedded and potentially
supports informing a teacher of student mastery of the objective(s).
o
Evidence that the instruction plan stimulates critical thinking.
Your intent in this first part is to:
o
Inform the reader through the introduction and body.
o
Identify the instructional plan template that YOU believe is the
most well-rounded and high-quality and justify your reasons with research and
examples.
c. Conclusion: Make
a selection between the three templates as to which one represents the best
instructional plan to you. Include the key elements you’ve explored thus far.
Explain its strengths, and recommend two ways to make it more effective and
high quality. Be sure to justify why enacting your recommendations would make
it better. Your essay will be between four to five pages, not including the
required cover and reference pages, and should follow APA formatting
requirements. You must include a minimum of five peer-reviewed articles or web
references (in addition to the textbook), including the three from which the
templates came, at least one from any reference used in Weeks One or Two, and
one outside source of your own.
