Education Product Design and Development Services

Education products are intended to produce student learning. For your product to be effective, your organization should consider a number of teacher and student needs. To help meet these needs, Designed Instruction specializes in the design and development of research-based, standards-aligned, age-appropriate instructional materials in each of the four core academic domains—science, mathematics, history/social studies, and reading/language arts—at levels Pre-K through grade 12. Depending on your organization's focus, these materials could contain a variety of features, including:

• ready-to-use student activities, explanatory texts, and ancillary handouts;

• teacher guides with detailed procedures and background related to both content and instructional aspects of the product;

• easily accessed and affordable equipment and materials;

• complete and deep articulation of standards connections at state and national levels;

• full-circle instructional designs that thoroughly integrate whole-class teaching sequences with expected learning trajectories and the needs of individual students;

• pedagogy and instructional strategy supports to assist teachers with unique techniques and approaches utilized in products; and

• integrated instructional components that leverage interactive capabilities of multimedia products.
