Assignment: Instructional Practices
In this assignment, you will research and trace the history and evolution of major instructional practices used in K-12 schools. Your guide will be the ESEA. With each reauthorization or change made to ESEA, dramatic shifts occurred in K-12 education. You must include 10 instructional practices.
Include the following on your timeline:
• name of the instructional practice (i.e. Differentiated Instruction, Marzano's Instructional Strategies, Competency Based Learning) and connection to ESEA
• clear and thorough description of the instructional practice
o role of the teacher
o role of the student
o materials/tools needed
o impact and demands on the learning environment
o impact on the curriculum, instruction, and assessment
• key individuals connected to the practice
• research defining or supporting the practice (include connected learning theories)
• longevity of the practice (is it still used today? how long was it or has it been implemented in schools?)
• opposing views
• successes/failures.
