Lesson Planning - Component 6

Setting Instructional Processes and Strategies


I chose this component to enhance my lesson planning process by being aware of the many  techniques and strategies options I have as an instructor to ensure learner comprehension. I feel that by having learned these options I will be able to better assess a topic and decide on the best technique or strategy for the delivery of the information.

To quote from the Cognitive Instructional Strategies article;

“There is no one strategy or approach to instruction that can be
described as the most effective or preferable. In fact, good trainers and
instructors employ as many different strategies as both time and the subject
matter allow. Variety in instruction is both stimulating and highly productive of
Learning.”

While researching this component I came across a very inspirational video on YouTube. It is an interpretation of the book “Seven Steps to Effective Leadership” by McEwan, E. K. (2003)

A quote from this video I really like is;

“Leaders don’t create followers, they create more leaders” (Tom Peters)
