In Helix, which step involves implementing instruction designed to attain those goals?

• A. Set high, worthwhile goals appropriate for these students at this time.
• B. Implement instruction designed to attain those goals.
• C. Reflect on student learning, the effectiveness of the instructional design, particular concerns, and issues.
• D. Evaluate student learning in light of the goals and instruction.

Answer: (B)

Carrying out the planned instruction is the action phase where you deliver the learning experiences designed to reach the goals. After you identify the goals and design instruction aligned to those goals, this step puts that plan into practice—using the chosen activities, materials, pacing, supports, and grouping to actually teach and guide students toward the target outcomes. It also involves monitoring students as you teach, using quick checks to gauge understanding and make on-the-spot adjustments so the instruction stays on track toward the goals. The other steps focus on deciding what to aim for, looking back at what happened, and judging results after instruction, whereas implementing is the execution of the plan to attain those goals.
