The lesson explains methods for preparing and executing instruction to students. First, it must be engaging, so a teacher should be considering the three questions each student will ask when a lesson begins: "Am I interested?", "Can I do this?", and "Does this matter?"
Second, what levels of DOK does a lesson reach? Are they all covered? Do they need to be? (For much of CTE, Level 3 is adequate, at least in my understanding).
As instruction turns to student exercise, failure needs to be acceptable as a means for growth and learning, as failure can itself be a teacher if that failure is analyzed properly. SWOT could, in my view, be a way to analyze a failure effectively.
There were several other examples as well, for which I appreciated the HVAC video a great deal, being an HVAC instructor myself. I could implement that exercise, in fact. So I'm grateful for the quality of the content of this lesson.
