The effectiveness of teacher designs corresponds to whether their clients, the students, acquire true understanding. As with other design professions, standards inform and shape our work. We are guided by national, state, district, or institutional standards that specify what students should know and be able to do. In addition to external standards, we must consider the needs of our clients, the students. For example, student interests, developmental levels, and previous achievements must influence teacher designs.
Teaching is a means to an end.
