Skowron (who has been a school teacher, an administrator, and an education consultant) conceived this guide for novice and veteran teachers from a perceived lack of models for creating lesson plans that incorporate more complex methods than simply basic instructional design. Each chapter in this second edition addresses one of four instructional designs: basic, integrated, differentiated, and problem-based. While guiding teachers through a process involving self-reflection and data collection and interpretation, the author explains the desired results, strategies for assessment, and nuts and bolts of lesson creation for the design in question. A number of reproducible self-surveys, worksheets, and assessment rubrics are provided. Annotation ©2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com) - (Book News)
