From the Author
If you don't know where you're going, the best-made maps won't help you get there. Similarly, without a way to communicate your instructional objectives to others: - You won't be able to decide which instructional content and procedures will help you accomplish your objectives,
- You won't be able to create measuring instruments (tests) to tell you whether your students have become competent enough to move on, and
- Your students won't be able to decide for themselves when to stop practicing. If you care about developing and/or delivering instruction that will give your students the skills and knowledge important for them to have, then this book is for you.
