New chapter in the Foundations of LIDT textbook with Heather Leary. This is an updated chapter by Lloyd Rieber at the University of Georgia on "The Proper Training" for people in our field. This is a perfect chapter to give to a new student who isn't sure if they "fit in" with our field because they feel they don't have "the proper background." As Lloyd shows, there isn't really one proper way to become an instructional designer. https://lnkd.in/gBgkcEYC

This case study will explore strategies for promoting emotional engagement through meaningful instruction. We will discuss how to address summer learning gaps and identify key concepts that help learners form emotional connections to the content. The analysis will incorporate concepts from meaningful instruction and motivational strategies presented in Chapter 9: "Motivation, Volition, and Performance" of the book Trends and Issues in Instructional Design and Technology. 

We talk a lot on here about all the great reasons teachers should transition to an instructional design career, but what are some reasons a teacher should NOT become an instructional designer?

It's true--on so many levels faculty need support and guidance for SMART online design. Don't leave them hanging. It's not an academic freedom thing...it's designing for success. Faculty will still be applying their knowledge and expertise but in ways that make sense for online learners. Little will they realize that it will also help them focus more on what they enjoy-teaching. Don't leave your faculty created courses a mess.... #instructionaldesignhelp #onlinelearning #highereducation

If you don't subscribe to Stephanie Stollar's newsletter, I highly advise you sign up. The content she puts out is excellent. She is one of the leading voices on reading science meeting instructional design. Today, she put a great piece out on a common myth regarding Tier I instruction. "When your screening and diagnostic data reveal a wide range of word recognition skills, it doesn’t make sense to have only whole group Tier 1 instruction. In this context, it makes sense to differentiate Tier 1 from the start." https://lnkd.in/ggctqTVF

🚨Myth-buster alert! 📚 TIER I is NOT synonymous with whole group instruction. Differentiated, mastery-based small-group foundational skills instruction in K-1 is truly preventative! 🤓 Check out Stephanie Stollar’s newsletter, and if you’re able, join her Reading Science Academy while you’re at it. Her resources are invaluable. #differentiation #scienceofreading #instructionaldesign
