Identify the 5 stages of the ADDIE model. 3. Explain how adopting the ADDIE model benefits students. 4. Examine the impacts integrating the ADDIE model has on teachers. 5. Evaluate a current lesson plan through the ADDIE framework to identify strengths and areas for improvement. 6. Apply the principles of the ADDIE model to improve a lesson plan for one of your classes. INSTRUCTIONAL GOALS By the end of this learning intervention, you will be able to:
Planning Practices 1. What is the most important factor you consider when designing a lesson? 2. Do you follow a structured planning process, or is it more flexible and intuitive? 3. Think about one of your most successful lessons. What made it successful? 4. How did students engage with the lesson? What was their response? 5. What strategies or instructional techniques contributed to its success? 6. How did you assess whether students achieved the learning goals? 7. Reflect on a lesson that didn’t go as planned. What challenges did you face? 8. How do you communicate the learning objectives to your students?

Develop 2 Design Establish the context for learning: problems, learning gaps, your audience and an overview of possible solutions. Deliver and facilitate the learning experience for learners. Measure and determine if learning outcomes have been met and next steps. Produce, curate and test the learning resources and evaluations that will be used. Determine how the learning is going to be delivered and evaluated. Consider the instructional strategies. A foundational core model that provides a structured approach to developing learning.

Notes) Situation: Imagine two high school teachers, Alex and Jamie, are both preparing to teach the same unit on talking about pastimes and hobbies for their French classes. • Alex follows the ADDIE model, systematically planning by analyzing student needs, designing a structured lesson, and preparing materials in advance. • Jamie takes a less structured approach, planning informally and making decisions as they go. Step #2: Pair Up & Discuss • How might Alex’s structured approach impact lesson clarity, student engagement, and time management? • What difficulties might Jamie face without a structured process? • How could ADDIE help address common classroom challenges? Step #3: Whole Group Share & Debrief 1. Which teacher (Alex or Jamie) do you relate to more? Why? 2. What benefits do you see in adopting a structured planning model like ADDIE? 3. What hesitations might teachers have about using ADDIE, and how could they overcome them?
