1e Designing Coherent Instruction
Designing coherent instruction including learning activities, instructional materials and
resources, instructional groups, lesson and unit structure.
My third professional goal is to grow in my ability to design units and lessons that are coherent
and strategic. I would particularly like to focus on unit design and structure. I believe that an
increased knowledge and understanding of unit design will allow me to create more meaningful
and cohesive lessons and activities for my students, and enhance their learning of the
curriculum content. In my current teaching practices, I believe I cover the curriculum material
adequately and do my best to include varied activities and lessons to engage my students in the
material. As a reflective educator, I am able to recognize that there are times when my
individual lessons lack a cohesiveness within the larger unit. I would like to be better at
determining unit outcomes and learning targets, so that my lessons connect and build in a
meaningful way. I believe I can grow in this standard by learning more about a variety of
instructional planning strategies, including backwards design, and becoming more familiar with
the curriculum goals of my school system. This would allow me to design more informed and
meaningful lessons and activities that will better connect to the curriculum and unit goals. I could
also grow in this standard by collaborating with other educators in an effort to gather other
strategies to try in my classroom. Through further research, collaboration, implementation, and
reflection, I hope to improve my ability to design coherent instruction that will ultimately lead to
increased student learning and understanding of curriculum content.
