Instructional Design

​

Designing and developing a teaching project for young learners may appear straightforward, but it requires thoughtful planning and attention to several key factors. When teaching science vocabulary to kindergarten students, aligning with the curriculum and standards is essential while considering each child's individual and group needs. Through years of experience working with young children, I’ve gained valuable insights into how they learn best. I am deeply committed to my students, striving to provide them with the support, guidance, and opportunities they need to thrive. My innovation proposal focuses on teaching science vocabulary through engaging hands-on activities, visual aids, and interactive learning experiences.

Instructional Tools

• Fink's 3-column and Understanding By Design table, offers a valuable framework for creating a meaningful and effective learning experience. This document highlights the importance of establishing learning objectives that align with five essential dimensions: foundational knowledge, application, integration, human dimension, and learning how to learn. Within the context of my blended learning approach, these elements guide my instructional design, ensuring that students not only acquire fundamental knowledge but also have the opportunity to apply and integrate what they've learned through in-person and digital platforms.​
