Madeline Hunter (1916–1994) was an American educator who developed a model for teaching and learning that was widely adopted by schools and is still used today. Hunter believed that teachers made hundreds of decisions every day in their teaching. Over time, she created a system to assist teachers in making those decisions. She called her system “Instructional Theory into Practice.” ITIP gives teachers concrete methods to improve their instruction. You can use ITIP with any subject, including—in our case—teaching the basics of electricity.
