EIPT 3043 - SPRING 2004

WBI Project: Create an Instructional Unit

Description

Proposal

Examples

Revised Proposal

Revision Proposal*
This information should be posted on your website as track_rev.html*.

Think about the goals and basic outline of your unit before looking for materials. Once you have identified a quality track to edit, don't let the resources drive development of instruction. Students' needs should drive the development of instruction. In other words, be sure to provide whatever the student needs to achieve the instructional goal within your instructional unit.

Please Word Process.

Your track should reflect sound instructional strategies. It will be a good idea for you to review "Gagne's Conditions of Learning" before developing your track.

Here's a link to Oklahoma PASS skills information.

After you have completed your revisions, use the information from this proposal and any other information necessary for instructors who may use your track as a last link of your Track, "For the Teacher."

Critique and Evaluation of Original Track

Briefly describe the strengths and weaknesses of the original track and detail the changes you plan to make including links you will remove and those you plan to add. Be sure to include why you chose the track you did as well as why you plan to make changes.

Proposal for Customized Track
