Questions

• We seek to answer these questions
• Why did we make the change?
• What is its theoretic/research base?
• How is it working?
• How does it meet NCATE standards?
• What is its value as a reform idea?

5
Rationale for the Instructional Design Core

• 21st Century demands imagination and
  problem-solving
• New ways of seeing role of instruction
• Making ideas more accessible to elementary
  teacher candidates
• Integration of pedagogical strands cognitive
  learning theory, assessment, diversity, technology

6
Context and Driving Force

• NCATE Unit Standards 1-4 (2001)
• Union Universitys Conceptual Framework for the
  TEP
• Context created by a faith-based institution
  personal qualities
• Personalized approach to instruction finding
  instruction that is appropriate (Vygotskys zone)
• Focus on learner characteristics
• Emphasis on hierarchy of field experiences

7
Reflection and Sensitivity

• Deweys model of problem-solving
• Role of teacher is critical
• Facilitating learning for all students
• A challenging classroom climate emphasizing
  process brain research shows physiological
  change in brain due to challenging experiences
• Sensitive teachers discern too easy or too
  difficult challenging yet nurturing

8
Diversity

• A. Schlesinger, Jr. quote
• Our most compelling strength and our greatest
  challenge
• Teacher candidates must learn that differences in
  students are significant
• Issue of sensitivity communicate clearly that
  you value all children
• Understanding we are all Americans regardless of
  our backgrounds

9
Technology

• Potential of technology and its impact
• Role of teacher is changing from instruction to
  construction discovery from teacher-centered
  to learner-centered education (Seymour Papert)
• Focus on how learning opportunities can be
  expanded
• Look to childrenthey are the first to grow up
  surrounded by digital media
• From school to life-long learning
