For courses in general methods K-12 (curriculum and instruction) and models of teaching (curriculum and instruction). A look at the contemporary context of teaching and what is known about student learning Pre-service, beginning, and experienced teachers alike can turn to Instruction: A Models Approach, 7th Edition for help in expanding their instructional repertoires through instructional models presented within a standards-based and instructionally aligned process. The book is based on the premise that teaching is a complex and challenging endeavor and that effective instruction must begin with an understanding of how students learn and how instruction should be designed, and a conviction that instructional design should stem from that understanding. To that end the authors present 10 evidence-based instructional models and their variations offering a range of cognitive approaches to instruction: creative, compliant, collaborative, competitive, inductive, deductive, concrete, and abstract. Each model is discussed using helpful elementary and secondary examples, a variety of academic content areas, detailed steps for implementation, and a look at the demands on students. The new edition includes several features that support the development of instructional skills: chapters move from concrete models to abstract (simple to more complex) to build a clearer understanding of the ideas, video examples and instructional strategies illustrate the concepts, and extension activities offer practice with important new information and skills. The result is a classroom-ready resource that makes instructional models clear and relevant for readers within a standards-based and instructionally aligned process.
