Blended Learning Instructional Framework: Whole Group Instructional Plan
Lesson/Topic
Learning Target
Learning targets are short term, student-friendly statements that clearly define what students should know and be able to do at the end of the lesson.
Activities, Instruction & Modeling
What do you need to explain, present, facilitate, or model? What instructional strategies will you use? What will students do to understand concepts or practice skills (practice, discussion, reflection, creation)? Synchronous learning refers to a learning event in which a group of students are engaging in learning at the same time. Asynchronous learning is instruction and learning that does not occur in the same place or at the same time – usually independent.
Formative Assessment /Exit Slip
How will students demonstrate their daily learning? How will you know if they understand concepts or can apply skills? Please provide links.
