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:

Hunter’s lesson 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.
