Editor's Notes
Depending on the curriculum design that is selected, planning can range from something that is more detailed to something that is decided spur of the moment by the students. Student centered or learner centered learning allows the students to plan what they would like to know with the teacher keeping in mind the concepts of the curriculum. No matter the curriculum design, planning is meant to ensure that the learning stays on track and that students are exposed to and taught the necessary elements of the curriculum in order to allow them to develop as a contributing member of society.
Regardless of the curriculum design selected or the amount of planning that is put in, instruction is something that is always and will always be present. The teacher is meant to guide students learning through instruction. Instruction methods can different between a more hands on approach or a more discovery based method, however instruction is a key component to any students learning. Changes in instruction can be based on reflection of practice and altered to meet the needs of the students.
