"This book is a treasure for teachers! First, it is highly reader-friendly. It uses plain, engaging language, accompanied by helpful visuals, examples, and stories.

Read morethe teaching methods that are most likely to help students learn. Third, this book is flexible. It offers variations for different approaches to teaching, such as behaviorist, constructivist, user-design, inquiry learning, and standards-based curriculum. I strongly recommend this book for teachers at all levels of education."
Charles Reigeluth, Professor, Instructional Systems Technology, Indiana University, Bloomington, USA "I am delighted with the information in this text! It breaks down the ID process in a very sensible and teacher-friendly manner. Standards-based learning has created an atmosphere wherein the lesson planning process feels very much out of teachers’ hands. This text shows teachers how to take back the reins of their lesson planning—how to creatively analyze, synthesize, and implement their own well thought-out goals, objectives and individual lessons. In short, the text teaches teachers a shorthand process for creating sensible lessons that originate from the standards but grow out of their own identities as teachers. For this, I say, ‘Well done!’"
Melissa Merritt, 17-year Veteran Home School Teacher/Middle School Teacher, Fort Collins, Colorado, USA "This book is an invaluable tool for teachers who want to plan interesting and effective lessons for their students. It not only provides teachers with a very practical, easy-to-employ model for designing instruction, it also demonstrates how the model can be integrated with a wide variety of teaching approaches that are popular today, ranging from constructivist, student-centered techniques to standards-based instructional methods. If you are a pre-service or in-service teacher who wants to improve instruction and learning in your classroom, you should definitely read this book!"
Robert A. Reiser, Distinguished University Teaching Professor and Robert M. Morgan Professor of Instructional Systems, Florida State University, USA "Instructional Design for Teachers is a very teacher-friendly and easy-to-read book full of great ideas for both the first-year and veteran teachers among us who are interested in using instructional design tomorrow in our classrooms. This book takes you step-by-step through the processes of implementation in a very practical and delightful journey. If you want to be a better teacher, read Instructional Design for Teachers."
