Designing the 21st Century Classroom - Advanced
You attended our two-day
professional development experience in which you learned about designing
curriculum for the 21st century. You developed an interdisciplinary, integrated
framework for a unit of curriculum, and incorporated the classroom strategies
you learned during the workshop.
You went back to
your classroom and implemented the unit. It was a learning experience, and
probably very rewarding.
Now let's take this
curriculum design a step further. In this two-day follow-up we will evaluate
the implementation of the curriculum framework you designed during the first
workshop. We will re-design and polish this unit, or create a new one. Then,
designing down, we will write a detailed unit including:
-
Final Unit
Outcomes
-
Developing
Outcomes - activities, strategies and sources - this is where we define
specifically what resources the students will be using, what activities they
will be doing, and how and with whom they will be doing them.
-
Enabling
Outcomes - basic skills, strategies and vocabulary. This will include
everything from basic language arts skills such as grammar and punctuation
to strategies students must have in order to do the activities in the
Developing Outcomes. This is where you include strategies students must
learn such as Jigsawing, Notetaking, Interviewing and more.
-
Individual
Authentic Assessments - how each student will be assessed for each unit
outcome.
-
Group
Assessments - how each small group product will be assessed for each unit
outcome.
-
Materials Bank -
from basic materials for projects to the resources students will using to
locate their content information and conduct their research.
-
Activities Bank
- list of possible activities for each unit.
-
Standards Bank -
here you will list the state and/or national content standards taught in
each unit.
Not only will you
develop a more refined unit, you will gain a great deal from the interactions
and discussion with others at the workshop as you share and discuss your
experiences with designing 21st century curriculum and classrooms.
