The focus of this portion of our guide is on education and instruction in the city of Madison Heights, Michigan.
Although the two terms are often used interchangeably, they are distinct terms. The sharpest difference between the two is that teaching is more complex than instruction.
Teaching involves various techniques, strategies, and approaches designed to facilitate the learning of a subject. Instruction, on the other hand, involves simply giving direction, or showing someone what to do and how to do it. When you buy a piece of furniture from IKEA, it will come with a set of instructions on how to put it together. In a classroom setting, a teacher might instruct students on how to answer a test, but the correct answers were the result of teaching. Nevertheless, education and instruction are both used in education.
For the most part, the resources included in this guide will consist of online resources for schools and other educational programs, at all levels, in Madison Heights. These may include public schools, private schools, religious schools, or even daycare centers, preschools, and instructional programs, such as driver training schools, and so on.
