Team Member D2: Naomi Ducharme
The table below organizes our six objectives which are taken from two topics that will be covered in our instruction: classroom management and teaching classroom procedures. 

Instructional Objectives
Topic 1: Classroom Management
Topic 2: Teaching Classroom Procedures
1a: Teachers will describe the relationship between procedures and a well-managed classroom 
2a: Teachers will identify classroom situations with procedures are required.
1b. Teachers will contrast discipline with procedures.
2b: Teachers will recall the three steps in teaching a classroom procedure.
1c. Teachers will explain why procedures are important.
2c: Teachers will demonstrate using the three steps for teaching a classroom procedure. 
The table below organizes each objective into either a principle or rule, a procedure, or an attitude.  Facts, concepts, and interpersonal content have been left out because none of our objectives fit into these particular categories.  In addition, each objective can also be met through recall or application (Morrison, Ross, Kalman, & Kemp, 2011).

The following three tables show strategies to present the material to our learners.  All strategies were taken from the textbook, “Designing Effective Instruction” (Morrison et al., 2011). 

Fact Strategy
Abstract Fact
Strategy
Initial Presentation and Generative Strategy
1c: Teachers will explain why procedures are important
Elaboration
Show learners a list of reasons why procedures are important.
Have learners reiterate why procedures are important. 

Principle and Rule Strategies
Principle/Rule
Strategy
Initial Presentation and Generative Strategy
1b: Teachers will contrast discipline with procedures
RULEG and integration
Explain the difference between discipline and procedures.
Given several visual examples, the learner must decide which are examples of discipline and which are procedures
1a: Teachers will describe the relationship between procedures and a well-managed classroom
EGRUL and elaboration
Have learner draw a concept map of all features that can positively effect a well-managed classroom. 
Have the learner explain why procedures are an important aspect of a well-managed classroom.
2a: Teachers will identify classroom situations where procedures are important
RULEG and integration
Give 2 examples of classroom situations where procedures are important.
Have the learner complete a list indicating several examples where procedures are important.

2b: Teachers will recall the 3 steps in teaching a classroom procedure
Mnemonics
PERR: Procedures: Explain, Rehearse, Reinforce
2c: Teachers will demonstrate using the 3 steps for teaching a classroom procedure
Demonstration, Organization, Elaboration, Practice
While watching a video of a veteran teacher, learners will note phrases the teacher uses for each of the following steps: explain, rehearse, reinforce.
Learners will then use the same example, but reword each phrase into a statement they would feel comfortable using.
Learners will role-play with a partner and practice teaching a classroom procedure.
