| Overview: | |||||||||
| Does your curriculum feel packed and overwhelming? Do lesson plans seem to be a burden and difficult to communicate with students? You are not alone. The pandemic has put in sharp focus to determine what is essential for students but also to streamline the way we design curriculum and communicate our lesson plans. We will focus in this course on how to make decisions on what to cut. Keep? Create? Approaches to integrating digital, media and global literacy will be highlighted in our sessions. We will conclude the course with an exciting and fresh approach to fully engaging learners with real-world authentic assessments that can be applied to any course or subject. Join us as we streamline! |
