This document discusses several instructional design models that can be used by elementary school teachers, including ADDIE, ARCS, PIE, and backwards design.
The ADDIE model provides a clearly defined process with stages for planning and implementing instruction. It can be applied to different situations and allows adjustments during planning and delivery.
The ARCS model focuses on gaining students' attention, making the content relevant to their lives, building their confidence to learn, and providing satisfaction from completing the learning. Each stage builds upon the last to motivate students.
The PIE model represents a continuous cycle of planning, implementing, and evaluating instruction to improve student focus on learning goals.
