Reflect on a prior instructor-led learning experience in which you were the student. You may choose a training course or a classroom course. Consider this learning experience in the context of this week’s assigned readings.
Write a 500- to 700-word reflection paper on your experience.
Address the following questions in the paper:
- What was the instructor’s purpose?
- What process or model do you think the instructor followed when planning the learning experience?
- How well did the learning experience meet your needs?
- In Methods for Effective Teaching, you were introduced to the linear-rational and backward design methods. If you had been the instructor, which of these models would you have used to design your learning experience? Why?
- What was the role of standards in this teaching experience?
- If you had been the instructor, what activities might you have planned to meet the needs of the students with exceptionalities?
