About this Item

This large decorative hardcover instruction book for those interested in educational methods is in great shape with little wear. The mostly white covers are shiny with only minor wear around the edges. The spine is tight. The pages are mostly white with some highlighting. I have no idea if they got all the good stuff or not. 16 chapters are offered in three parts: Planning for instruction, Matching objectives to instruction, and Putting it all together. 269 pages with an index in the back.

About this title

Synopsis

This classroom-ready resource makes instructional models clear and relevant for readers by placing them within a standards-based and instructionally aligned process.

Instruction: A Models Approach closely links more than ten instructional models based on current research and evidence-based practice to the preparation of objectives, differentiation practices, and assessment options.

The text includes scenarios of the models in both elementary and secondary classrooms, lesson plans for both elementary and secondary classes in a variety of content areas, and detailed steps for implementing the model using evidence based instructional strategies. Attention is paid to when and how the models can be used in particular contexts with specific skills and knowledge.

“I have found this text to be very helpful in its presentation of the strategies and the processes involved… I am a particular fan of the Cooperative Learning Models.”

-Carolynn Reynolds, California State University at Chico

 

 

Now in its fifth edition, Instruction: A Models Approach identifies and explains more than a dozen instructional models, placing them within a process that is instructionally aligned and based on standards.  Drawn from current research and the most effective practices, the models are closely linked to the preparation of objectives, differentiation practices, and assessment options.  The user-friendly text is a valued resource among K-12 and preservice teachers.
