The present era is an era of academic globalization. Though internationalism in education has been age old, the current wave has a new aspect i.e. augmenting, collaboration & co-operation. We are living in a rapidly changing time. Actually, change is the basic/fundamental rule of nature but this change is always purposeful & provides various new opportunities & makes a co-ordination with emerging trend. In the same way, change is also required in the form of innovations in the instructional strategies and designs, which should be fruitful & lucrative for entire education system. Instructional strategies that influenced teachers’ attitudes toward initiating and sustaining change in their practice. Instructional strategies in the professional development course are successful in affecting teachers’ attitudes toward initiating and sustaining change in their practice. However, the power of Instructional strategies to influence teachers’ attitudes is not inherent in the strategy itself. The course was developed using a new model, The Reflective Conceptual Model (Ray, 2007), and followed the steps in the process. The application of the process allowed the power of instructional strategies to increase exponentially. The reflective mirrors in design path one and design path two enabled the exponential increase of the power of the instructional strategies through application of identified learners’ needs and insertion of characteristics of successful innovations. The power of Instructional strategies (IS) can be increased exponentially through the innovative Instructional design of the course. This rapid and constant change is due to government policies, privatization, liberalization & globalization (LPG) of education, increasing competition, invasion by foreign university & emergence of knowledge society. Due to this change, teaching-learning process have become very typical & complex job. In this process, different instructional strategies, methods, materials are used. Selection of all these depends upon the individual difference, mental ability& nature of work of learner.
