The Assure Model: Instructional Media And Technologies For Learning
The ASSURE Model is a guide for planning and conducting instruction that uses media. This model was developed by Heinich, Molenda, Russell, and Samldino from Instructional Media and Technologies for Learning. The Assure Model has six steps, represented by the acronym.

If there are discrepancies between what you intended and what actually happened during the lesson, make appropriate revisions before using the lesson again.

As you become a more experienced teacher, you will probably find that the steps in the ASSURE model are second nature and that will lead to better teaching. As you revise lessons from year to year, remember to keep in mind new and emerging technologies that might be more
