Instructional+Intelligence

Instructional Intelligence (II) II is described as the conscious interweaving of assessment and evaluation, knowledge of the learner, a broad repertoire based on solid research, knowledge of the content and nature of the teacher. When combined, these form powerful tools for teaching and learning. II, as a program, provides a language for teacher articulation of their instructional methodology so they can share their expertise as well as assess and refine their own practice.

"The focus of instructional intelligence is on enhancing student learning through quality teaching. It is the deliberate choice the most effective instructional methods from an extensive repertoire, based on an understanding of how students learn, the curriculum to be learned, and personal change and systemic change." ....YRDSB
