| As a P.E. teacher which one of the following planning steps would you perform first? | create a curriculum with the content you will be teaching throughout the year > create assessments and benchmarks to baseline and monitor the students learning and progress > make lesson plans |
| Sequenced Model | is a component of planning in curriculum development, this model focuses on the involvement of teachers across many different disciplines to work together to develop instructional units that overlap across the different subject areas |
| indirect teaching | > student-centered instruction in which the teacher facilitates opportunities for students to construct their own learning > group projects, virtual study projects, presentations |
