Intentional & Deliberate Planning
For Impactful, Consistent, & Effective Instruction
Course Description
As educators, our planning must be
INTENTIONAL and DELIBERATE
so our instruction will be
IMPACTFUL, CONSISTENT, and EFFECTIVE!
Educators today are faced with a variety of challenges. Classrooms are more diverse. Demands for students’ success is at an all-time high. Time is at a premium. For educators, this is a balancing act. Teachers need resources to support the learning needs of students at all levels.
As educators plan, consideration needs to be given to the diversity of learning styles and multiple intelligences found among the students, cultural diversities, language and reading challenges, as well as gaps that may be identified through data or pre-assessment. This course will help teachers understand how to plan deliberately and intentionally to support maximizing their students' achievement.

Tammy Jones
Meet Your Instructor
An educator since 1979, Tammy L. Jones has worked with students from first grade through college. Currently, Tammy is consulting with individual school districts in training teachers on strategies for making content accessible to all learners.
Writing integrations as well as literacy
connections are foundational in everything Tammy does. Tammy also works with
teachers on effective techniques for being successful in the classroom. As a classroom teacher Tammy’s goal was that
all students understand and appreciate the content they were studying; that
they could read it, write it, explore it, and communicate it with confidence;
and that they would be able to use the content as they need to in their lives.
Tammy believes that logical reasoning, followed by a well-reasoned presentation
of results, is central to the process of learning, and that this learning
happens most effectively in a cooperative, student-centered classroom. Tammy
believes that learning is experiential and in her current consulting work
creates and shares engaging and effective educational experiences.
