ABSTRACT

Designing the best instruction possible involves organizing instructional activities to create a satisfying and effective learning experience. This is particularly important when the content to be covered is sizable (e.g., yearlong training; multiple years of study for a degree; an entire K-12 curriculum). The activities of any one lesson often have to fit appropriately into a larger educational scheme. Understanding how these larger schemes work and how to develop such a scheme allows one to deliver better instruction.
