DESIGN FOR INSTRUCTION INSTRUCTIONAL DECISION MAKING ANALYSIS OF STUDENT LEARNING REFLECTION AND SELF-EVALUATION



Instructional Decision-Making

Throughout the course of your learning unit, keep a journal describing what went well and what you want to change. This information, accompanied with a sample of your students' work, will allow you to make more thorough and confident decisions. 

Take note of how and when you think on your feet. Read students’ body language, behavior, attention, etc… How did you know your lesson wasn’t working? How and why did you decide to make changes? Asking yourself these questions will also help focus your reflection. 
This section of your work sample should be written in present tense. 

IMPORTANT TIPS:

The only way to get people to like working hard is to motivate them. Today, people must understand why they’re working hard. Every individual in an organization is motivated by something different.
