Our Instructional Design Approach

Our Instructional Design Approach

The instructional approach used to create our units centers around the Backwards Design approach popularized by Grant Wiggins and Jay McTighe

What does this mean?

Each instructional module was created and incorporates a three step approach for leamer participation.

Step One: Our instructional designers utilize the Georgia Standards of Excellence to identify the desired results and leaming outcomes.

Step Two: Our instrucional design team identifies realistic and acceptable evidence of the leaming focus to create assessments prior to the creation of instruction materials

Step Three: Our instructional design team develops and creates leaming experiences and restruction specifically tailored to the needs of homeschool leamers that follow the Georgia Standards of Excellence.
