ABSTRACT
Instructional development constraints Requires relatively more development time and unconventional resources, • including joint planning time for teachers
Values
about ends (learning goals) Th e learning should be relevant to students’ lives.• Relationships among domains are important to learn.• Transfer to the “real world” is important.•
about priorities (criteria for successful instruction) Eff ectiveness and appeal are of great importance.• Effi ciency may be relatively less important.•
about means (instructional methods) Goals, activities, resources, and assessments should all be tied directly to a • unifying theme. Rich resources and varied instructional activities are important.•
about power (to make decisions about the previous three) Teachers should be willing to give up some elements of direct control.• Flexibility is needed from rigid administrative demands and state curricular • requirements.
