Community of Learning #4: Web Based Planned Construction
	This page links to a collection of model standards-based planned instruction documents. Each planned instruction has a critical-response component. These are not intended to be something one can simply download and use in the classroom. Rather, they are intended to serve as models to stimulate creativity and provoke ideas one might use in one's own curriculum and instructional design efforts. The institute members who created these models first experienced a sequence of planned-instruction activities designed by David Berlin and were invited to contribute a critical-response journal in connection with that experience. Each critical dialogue in response to the planned instruction contained therein can be read by clicking the link called "critical response" below the author's name.
