Planning:

3 Step Learning Process:

Planning your own Learning:

• Determine personal challenges and learning required for pedagogical growth
• Brainstorm solutions to challenges and desired learning
• Establish personal goals
• Plan curriculum incorporating best practices (outlined below)
• Individual reflection on the process and your own personal learning
• Adjust curriculum and future planning as needed
• Ongoing reflection and goal setting

Planning your Student's Learning:

Well designed projects include

• Alignment to standards
• Essential & curriculum framing questions
• Student centered approach
• Real world connections
• Critical thinking (Higher order projects require students to collect, analyse, synthesize, problem solve, make recomendations etc) Cut and paste won't work there!
• Multiple assessment options
• Varied instructional strategies / differentiation
• Technology to support & enhance learning
• Project based demonstrations of knowledge by students
