Instructional Plan Design Analysis
Instructional Plan Design Analysis
Three instructional plan templates constructed by a variety of
leaders in education provide solid examples of what quality
instructional plans should include. The work of Madeline Hunter
dates the furthest back and is still used today, primarily in the
elementary setting. Grant Wiggins and Jay McTighe provide a more
modern approach to curriculum and lesson design with their model of
Understanding by Design (UbD). Others, as modeled by the New York
State Educational Department, work closely to align their
instructional plans with the Common Core State Standards.Review each of the provided instructional plan designs:Common Core Aligned Instructional plan Template Understanding by

Instructional Plan Format Analyze each instructional plan and
structure a Word document, essay-style as such:Introduction: Introduce the essential elements, purpose, and
value of creating and following a high-quality instructional plan.
Include a thesis stating your intent to highlight key elements of
each respective plan as well as your intent to identify what you
find to be the most effective plan while justifying your
reasoning.Body: Discuss the following for EACH instructional plan design.
(Do not list—this is paragraph format without
headings/subheadings.) The source’s name (i.e., Hunter). Key
components representing most essential instructional plan
requirements (standard, objective, activities, assessments, etc.).
Unique components (What makes each plan different from the others?
What is notably missing or added compared to the others?).
Description of how Gradual Release of Responsibility Model is or is
not represented. Description of how assessment is embedded and
potentially supports informing a teacher of student mastery of the
objective(s). Evidence that the instruction plan stimulates
critical thinking. Your intent in this first part is to:Inform the reader through the introduction and body. Identify
the instructional plan template that YOU believe is the most
well-rounded and high-quality and justify your reasons with
research and examples. Conclusion: Make a selection between the
three templates as to which one represents the best instructional
plan to you. Include the key elements you’ve explored thus far.
Explain its strengths, and recommend two ways to make it more
effective and high quality. Be sure to justify why enacting your
recommendations would make it better. Your essay will be between
four to five pages, not including the required cover and reference
pages, and should follow APA formatting requirements. You must
include a minimum of five peer-reviewed articles or web references
(in addition to the textbook), including the three from which the
templates came, at least one from any reference used in Weeks One
or Two, and one outside source of your own.
