Description: "Every teacher's goal is to create a rich instructional environment for his or her students. Thoughtful, informed lesson planning is a key element in that process. Janice Skowron's jump start of a book offers novice and experienced teachers step-by-step, essential guidance in this challenging and often highly complex task. It brings into focus the decisions teachers face as they plan instruction and provides four progressively complex and nuanced models: basic, integrated, differentiated, and problem-based instruction. Descriptive information, numerous examples, and tools such as key questions, planning guides, and templates help educators develop proficiency in planning instruction." P.[4] of cover.
