Visit the Master of Education Library Guide.
As you have learned in this course, there are many different perspectives about how
students learn. There are also many strategies that educators can use to ensure that
effective instruction is implemented and students retain information. It is important that you
as an educator are able to effectively implement various strategies; but before
implementing, you must understand the underlying philosophies for the strategies you
choose.
For this assignment, you will use the three theories from the Week 6 assignment, Leading
Educational Theorists, to develop a lesson plan aligned to the learning theory and
philosophy that best resonates with you.
