 * Content **

...is about WHAT we want students to learn. come to know (facts) understand (concepts and principles) do (skills)

Content is the means by which students become acquainted with information. Content is NOT the learning.

ASK: What will the student do with this information?


 * Process **

...is about HOW a student makes sense of learning. Students must process the ideas to own them and process typically takes place in the form of activities.

Activities are only effective when:
 * 1) They have clearly defined instructional purpose.
 * 2) Focus students squarely on one key understanding.
 * 3) Cause students to use a key skill to work with key ideas.
 * 4) Ensure that students will have to understand, not just repeat, the idea.
 * 5) Help students relate new understandings and skills to previous ones.
 * 6) Match the student's level of readiness.


 * Product **

...is about what a student makes/does that shows the teacher he/she has the knowledge, understanding and skills that were taught.
