Instructional Plan Design Analysis

Review: Common Core Aligned Instructional Template, Understanding Modified UBD, and Hunter Lesson Plan. The essential elements of these instructional templates include standards, set of targets for learning. The relevance and criteria for success include tasks involvement and the resource models for a student to access. The designs have a purpose of ensuring the students understanding, learning, and determine central ideas as a result of the instructional template or lesson plans. The most important thing is to understand how much common core aligned are ensuring that there are important results from the lesson.

Every model can ensure the students and teachers can capture what they learn and put it into skillful practice with a show of understanding rather than cramming of the content or lesson. The most important aspect is to determine which of the lesson plans can meet thestudents learning objective. Therefore ensuring the students can master their learning, which shows in terms of skills, creativity, and critical thinking.

Instructional Plan

The common core aligned learning is the initial plan of Napolitano, who decides to create an initiative for educationthat has an objective to ensure there is a positive outcome to the lessons.“Recognize the elements of an effective common core lesson planning template.

Understand how to implement the three mostcritical instructional strategies: conversation,multiple texts, and responding to reading throughwriting” (Tompkins-Seneca-Tioga Board of Cooperative Educational Services).

Laurier introduces the Hunter lesson plan to enhance and maximizestudent learning. Therefore, allowing students to focus on activities or prompt their learning and make connections with prior lessons. Teaching students to think about – the learner will do what + with what + how well”(Laurier, 2011). The Understanding by design-backwards design lesson was the creation and avocation by McTighe and Wiggins in 1998.They design the UBD to help program learning in the mind of the students. The UBD is a teaching and learning philosophy and one can capture it this is very difficult for one to get back and get the broader context of learning. It is a model that creates the narrative for skills and content.

UBD reflects a “continuous improvement” approach to design and learning. The results of our curriculum designs (e.g., assessment results, quality of student work, and degree of learner engagement) inform needed adjustments (McTighe,& Wiggins, 2002). The students and the teachers can, therefore,reveal the lesson learned in the context that is meaning and transferable. As a student supervisor, one who uses this method can have a meaningful conversation with the students on certain important concerns of furthering the concept of criteria for learning. The three standards are quite similar in their different elements, but the creators have tried to be unique at some point.

Hunter can introduce that thegradual release of responsibility. It is a creation ofdifferent parts that include; instructional input, modeling, check for understanding. Because this is a basic elementthatis useful in common core and backward designs lessons. Understanding by design can create the elements that build ideas that bring about the meaning and the most important facts of the lesson.

Common Core can build understanding through the formative assessment criteria for success. It is all about knowing that the students can meet the outcomes successfully and that the criterion is met successfully. The Hunter lesson can create an element that concern checking for understanding and learning. The students should demonstrate the essential information that is giventhe students in a lesson plan from the teacher. The students build understanding through showing what theyhave mastery skills of the lesson. It is important that the teacher can find out whether the student can understand the objectives of the lesson.When using the common core aligned this is done by finding out from the students how the lesson plan can engage the students understanding to the template.

Understanding modified has made use of learning plan anticipatory set that offers the teacher what he or she looks forward to teaching. Hunter was able to create an understanding by the teacher through looking out for the questions that demonstrate a high level of thinking. As a result, the evidence shows the Hunter model is learning how to critical thinking. Because a teacher uses these template facts from Bloom’s taxonomy can also use it as a test for critical thinking. The common core though does not cater for the part of critical thinking but looks at the student’s ability to demonstrate what was taught. Understanding modified has also ensured that skills gained are part of the several elements.

Conclusion

Templates are a certain set of design principlesthatare utilized in the determination of a design that meets the principle needs of a student. There is a major set of design conclusion that is useful in determining the perceptions of the participants concerning the strengths and the potential pitfalls of the learning designs. According to this analysis, UBD is an important learning design due to the following strengths as compared to the other two. It is a learning model that can make use of the common sense principle and strategies that are seen when it comes to the other two models or templates.

It is a learning model that has the most important potential power that helps in overcoming tendencies that are common in public education that is more concerned with recall nature of learning. The third most important element is that it can bringing about consensus driven language that is usefulto research-based test and practices in the areas of assessment and curriculum development. In every case, it is important to have a model that can inform the process of curriculum renewal.

UBD can create a model that aids in the educational reforms and creation of school renewable curriculum. The model is very important in informing the educator to put in the efforts to unpack a set of standards to develop an innate conceptual understanding of what they are studying. It is important also to understand the model that can come as a guide with little to know problems that areseen by other researchers. The need for educators to have more time to reflect on the whole framework is about when it comes to modifying the practices. Because there is an existence that triesto make use of the different aspects of backward designs process.

Several people have issues with UBD, which is a concern with having little or limited time to impact training on the staff so that they can have complete understanding of the process. When the teachers can complete a one or two-day workshop without being able to make a follow up to ensure that there is improving by the teachers in the planning process. There is a concern that there are several short training pieces of training that is carried out with the intention of producing teachers with the ability to make use of the model.
