This document provides guidelines for selecting and using instructional materials. It recommends that materials should accurately portray ideas, contribute meaningful content to the learning objective, and be appropriate for students. A teacher should prepare themselves by understanding the objective, why they chose the material, and how they will evaluate students. They should prepare students by setting expectations, asking guiding questions, and keeping students engaged. When presenting material, teachers should have planned and rehearsed, and tested the material beforehand. Following up is important to determine if the objective was achieved.
