Chapter 12: Instructional Project Management

As a current Language Arts Department Chairperson, effective project management is critical to our success in teaching our students. I need to serve as a resource, guide, and leader to our ELA teachers (many are new to teaching) in order to forge a successful and productive department. This is why I chose Chapter 12 to comment on.


In Instructional Design, project management is a critical component. Each time a lesson or project is undertaken, the project must be guided through the planning, implementation, and evaluation stages. Critical components of sucessful project management are leadership skills, learning to communicate with your team, and developing effective teams (Trends and Issues in Instructional Design, pp 113).
