Ultimately then, as questions did not focus on past instructional planning methodology but on real time instructional planning practices the practice of systematic "objectives-first" planning could have been very influential in teacher development but was ultimately abandoned in practical application, probably largely owing to time constraints, which are a consistently cited concern for teachers. The teachers studied simply offered the thesis that formal "objective-first" instructional planning is not practical and they prefer to plan in more timesaving and practical ways. If one were to include questions regarding past use or even possible future use of such methods the true efficacy of the model may have been tested.
Potential Effects of Fixes
The development of a case for systematic planning might have been made if a broader sample was utilized. The results might have concluded that some "superior" teachers do use an objective-first model or that they have done so in the past and developed instruction that works and no longer needs to be tested with every application. The researchers might have also utilized a different strategy...
This of course would have changed the entire focus of the work but might have made a stronger case for "objective-first" systematic instructional planning.
Article Publication
The publication audience of this work, i.e. teachers, administrators, board members, and even teacher educators might benefit from a revised edition of this published work, i.e. one that included some of the main points of this assessment. Currently, the work challenges rather than support the thesis, indicating that "objective first" systematic instruction planning is not necessary over time and that other methods are superior or more time sensitive and better suited to real classrooms.

Holding this paper waiting for more research on systematic instructional planning would have been a better step, this would have probably eliminated the contradictory nature of the research which brought the element of unprofessionalism. It is important for one to include research not supporting their hypothesis but it is more important not to undermine his or her argument. Potential effects of the fixes Including more participants in the study would bring a
Motivate Private Kindergarten Teachers The objective of this work in writing is to conduct a review of literature in the area of motivation and specific to motivation of teachers in private kindergartens. Towards this end, this study will examine motivation and specifically employee motivation as well as kindergarten and the previous research on private kindergarten. Motivation Motivation is defined as "the act or an instance of motivating, or providing with a reason
American public education system has endured many changes in the last few decades. It has gone from back to basics, to whole language learning, and then back to basics again. The system is constantly being scrutinized by the parents who send their children to it, the students themselves, experts in the field and politicians who use its flaws as a springboard for change, while using its successes as a
Size/Cooperative Learning & it's effects on participation Action Research Question Will cooperative learning have a significantly positive impact on smaller or larger classes? The purpose of this study was to investigate if cooperative learning will have a significantly positive impact on smaller or larger classes. In order to have valid results, I used both my largest and smallest classes as my sampling. I also incorporated a variety of teaching styles with cooperative
(Holland, 2002) Opponents of national board certification argue that these schools place only passing emphasis on future teachers' mastery of the subject matter they will teach their students. Those are, of course, the same educational programs from which many of the current education officials themselves graduated. Of course, they are loathe to admit that there are more intellectually productive routes to fulfilling, productive teaching careers according to Robert Holland. (Holland,
Special Education Teachers Special Education Vacancies Recruitment, Hiring, and Retention Barriers to Hiring Barriers to retaining special education personnel. Incentives used to improve retention. Recommendations to Improve Recruitment and Retention Adequate Supply of Special Education Professionals Resources Teachers today are subject to more stress than ever. Increasing certification requirements, re-certification, assessments, federal standards, demanding children, apathetic parents and an unsupportive administration are just the tip of the iceberg. Special education teachers have special circumstances. While other schoolteachers have
