My role as an instructional designer

I am really excited about the term "instructional designer." It sounds so much better than teacher. I really think this is a more accurate term to describe my role in the classroom. I spend every day working with a wide variety of students with different needs. I am constantly trying to adjust my lessons to meet these varying needs. I use many approaches in my classroom as well as an abundance of resources. From the textbook to the Promethean board- every day holds something new in my classroom. I honestly feel that my students are highly engaged most of the time (we all have our moments) because of my love for and use of technology. I don't just take a lesson, present it and test it. I "design" my instruction based on my students' prior knowledge, while keeping my "end" goal in mind!
