Instruction reflects implementation of research-based instructional strategies for increasing student achievement.
Instructional strategies differentiate instruction to meet the needs of individuals and groups of learners.
Instructional strategies emphasize having students identify the relevance of the learning and applications to real world situations and interdisciplinary connections.
Instructional planning includes selection of the mode of instruction (e.g., direct instruction, inquiry, problem-solving) based on the goals and objectives of the learning.
