Trying to Make Sense of it all (Not part of the Course for my own Understanding)

So much information to digest and I'm reaching a point of frustration. Will this ASSURE model change to something else in a few years? Frustrated with how Lessons seem to be so complex on creating.

Analyze Learners and Learning Theory
Using my Information Processing Habits(Mind Styles) of Concrete Random(trial and error) (p89) and Concrete Sequential(Hands on, Direct) I'm trying to digest everything we have learned so far. I understand that not all people learn the same way or we each have Multiple Intelligences(p89 Gradner). In order to understand how our students learn we should give them Entry Tests or assign prerequisites. We also need to know what Motivates our students. Keller's ARCS Model address Attention, Revelance, Confidence, and Satisfaction and seems to agree with Maslow's Hiarchey of Needs. Keller even mentions Maslow's Hiarchey under Revelance in Needs Matching. Learning Theory can be broken into 4 Different Theory Category's-Behaviorism(Stimulus-Response),Cognitivism(Learners process, store, and retrieve information for later use), Constructivism(Connectivism or Social Constructive)(learners construct new ideas or concepts based upon their current/past knowledge, social interactions, and motivation affect the construction).


My question is now How do we assess students and find this information out? I understand we can look over there previous classes they have taken but that does not tell use how the student learns and what works best. I've found a few sites like NC and Idpride.net . I wonder how Learning styles match up with Leadership styles?


Standards and Objectives (Working)
I understand that each State has it's own Standards for each grade level like NC State Standards at LearnNC.org . To my understanding States are still working on this NET-S or standards for technology for use by students. I'm trying to use Burner's Discovery Learning, reflection, and Conectivism which is how I assumilate new knowledge and campare it with what I have previously learned to achieve understanding. I'm still trying to get use to this Lesson Plan Concept and including Bloombergs Taxonomy and State Standards. I'm learning from the perspecitive of a soldier using Soldier's Common Tasks being like the State Standards. The difference being the Soldier's Tasks are set Lesson Plans and Standards Combined where as Teachers the Standards are set but the Lesson Plans must be created based on the Teacher.
