Good
instructional design needs a good structure or foundation (Cygert, 2015). The
structure is the who, what, when, where, and why of the instruction. By using a
design process such as the ADDIE Process, designers will make sure to cover all
areas that make good instructional design. Instructional designers must know
who they are designing for and the required end result. For instruction to be
successful it should be learner-centered (Larson & Lockee, 2014). Larson
and Lockee state that when the learners’ needs are a priority they will shape
all aspects of the design (2014). When the designer has identified the learner,
it is time to analyze how the information is delivered. Learners with various
levels of knowledge require different types of instruction based on the
necessary learning outcomes. Learning outcomes should be viewed from the
learners’ perspective (Larson & Lockee, 2014).
The
second area of good instructional design is assessment. Assessments should be
used to determine the level of understanding acquired by the learner.
Assessments should be developed specifically for the instruction and should
“restate the learning outcome or elaborate on it” (Larson & Lockee, p. 138,
2014). Finally, good instructional
design uses technology to enhance the learning not hinder it. Larson and Lockee
state there are 4 purposes for technology; productivity, to learn from, learn with,
and about (2014). The use of technology for productivity is common and the
primary way it is used. I feel that by using technology a learner can learn in
the most adaptive manner for the learner. Please look at the video and
infographic below for more information about the ADDIE Process and instructional
design.
Data
Walls
I
have developed a short and simple training on data walls. This training was
developed for third grade teachers at Jemison Elementary School. During the
training teachers will use data for students in their class to develop Google
Sheets. These Google Sheets will be linked to each other and ultimately linked
to a digital data wall. With this data wall the data coach and teachers will
discuss instructional needs for students as well as track their progress
through the year. My hope is that this visual data will open communication
among teachers and allow them to acquire a sense of ownership for all student
success. Below is a link to my training presentation.

Tracy, I like learning about data walls and how you will present this as a tool to your teachers. I think this will be beneficial to them and a good resource that they can use consistently. The authors, Larson and Lockee state in their text, "part of your job is to gather, sort through , and analyze information", which you have done to address a need for your teachers (2014, p. 21). You have shown good instructional design through your presentation to support your training.

Tracy,
ReplyDeleteLarson and Lockee (2014) explained that the more you know about the performance context, the easier it will be to create a relevant learning environment that increases learner motivation and aids in the transfer of new knowledge and skills to the work setting (p. 64). The data training wall you’ve developed seems to be very relevant to the elementary learning environment. I love how Google Apps lend themselves for collaboration, linking Google Sheets for the data walls is a great idea!
