Learn about “good” design
Independent of the WIDS software, the Instructional Design and Planning professional development course answers these critical questions and more. Thirteen lessons walk you through a proven instructional design process. Practice and apply what you learn to your own work, with assignments and activities from the accompanying study guide. Available on CD-ROM or videocassette.

This series of 13 video lessons (about one hour each) will help you design customized, performance-based instruction.  The lessons focus on establishing desired performance expectations, specifying performance standards, creating standards-based assessments, planning teaching and learning strategies that work, and aligning standards, assessments and instruction.  Participants will design a performance-based course of study.
