Book Description
In Proficiency-Based Instruction: Rethinking Lesson Design and Delivery authors Eric Twadell, Mark Onuscheck, Anthony Reibel, and Troy Gobble offer a comprehensive guide in proficiency-based instruction and its implementation. The authors begin with a persuasive explanation of the benefits of changing from traditional instruction to one based on student proficiency. However, they recognize that the process of switching from long-standing, traditional methods of instruction to an entirely new method are both daunting and confusing. Thus, the authors offer a process of five comprehensive steps based on the creative process-(1) preparation, (2) incubation, (3) insight, (4) evaluation, and (5) elaboration-that educators can follow to make the switch to proficiency-based instruction. Moreover, the authors ensure that no instructor will go through this process alone by offering the tools necessary to carry out these steps as part of a collaborative team. Through this book, readers will gain all the tools and strategies they need to make the switch from traditional methods of instruction to a system of proficiency-based instruction.
