Instructional Sequence Matters, Grades 6–8: Structuring Lessons With the NGSS in Mind

Coherence Matters

When designing instruction, the instructional sequence matters to students. A well-designed sequence is similar to a narrative of a story, students remember and understand a logical presentation. Dr. Brown's book assists teachers with developing an understanding of why the sequence matters.

Definitely a book which is worth your time as an educator to read.
