the teacher to make his/her
presentation concrete, effective,
interesting, meaningful and inspiring.

4
FACTORS TO CONSIDER IN DEVELOPING INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS:

1. Developing a story board and working outline based on the subject goals and
objectives.
2. Identify existing institutional resources including materials and teachers’
capability.
3. The teacher may be research off the shelf materials that have been developed
by others to determine if their approach could be useful.
4. Explore the possibility of adapting concepts of other teachers without infringing
on anyone’s copy protected design.
5. Modify existing materials based on the objectives of the lesson.
6. If the instructional materials are effective, you can share them with the other
teachers.
7. The teacher developer can also sell his/her materials available.

pens (whiteboard).
SUGGESTIONS ON USING THE WRITING BOARD:

students can see the information clearly.
3. Make a text and drawings large enough to be seen from the back of the room.
4. Prepare complex drawings in advance.
5. Underline headings and important or unfamiliar words for emphasis.

drawing is completed.

problem solving activities.

GUIDELINES WHEN DESIGNING CONVENTIONAL INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS:

1. Unity – Use only one idea for each visual aid and include a
headline.
2. Simplicity – make ideas and relationships simple and easy to recall.
3. Legibility – make letters big and readable for all in the audience
4. Consistency – use the same type style and art style.
5. Clarity – avoid type that is too small to read.
6. Quality – make it neat and professional, and remember to
proofread.
