8. INSTRUCTIONAL PLANNING - DELIVERY SYSTEMS

Instructional planning is the process of preparing for the delivery of the subject areas or modules. Effort should be made to sequence topics logically, to determine the relationship between theory and practice, and to identify suitable learning resources. The teacher needs to make all these preparations including plans for each lesson and, where appropriate, job sheets for learning delivery.
