Process is how students will make sense of or comes to understand the content. The process is made up of the strategies and methods that form the sequence of teaching and learning.

PROCESS is the "how" of teaching.  The ways in which students make sense of the content.  Process is differentiated by adding greater complexity or abstractness to tasks, by engaging students in critical and creative thinking, and by increasing the variety of ways in which you ask them to learn.
