TIME INVOLVED: Four x 2-hour interactive sessions with Jennifer spread over two consecutive Saturdays. Approximately 1-2 hours of asynchronous learning during and following the workshop. PLATFORM, MATERIALS AND RESOURCES: We will connect through the ZOOM meetings platform. Please ensure you update your Zoom app before the workshop. You will need a laptop, headphones/earbuds and a dedicated space for the two days. It may be useful to have your mobile device handy to pick up QR codes. All participants will be issued with a link to the course that will not be shareable with others. Please try to have your video cameras on and sound functioning to enable full participation. This workshop will not be recorded. A workbook of key resources to accompany the workshop will be shared with you. In this workshop: You will learn answers to questions like these: How can we move to a three-dimensional curriculum and instruction model that allows us to compact the overloaded curriculum, and teach both factual and conceptual knowledge with greater depth and rigour? How are knowledge and process structured and how can we utilize that structure to develop the intellect? What is a conceptual lens and how can we use it to develop higher levels of thinking and increased motivation for learning? How can we design instruction to achieve synergistic thinking between the factual and conceptual levels of knowledge and understanding? How do we scaffold thinking to deeper levels? How do we develop different kinds of guiding questions to path student thinking from the factual to the conceptual level of understanding? Concept-based curriculum and instruction is not a program. It leaves the design of curriculum and instruction to teachers but informs and reinforces quality curriculum design and pedagogy. Day 1 - 20th February Session 1 How can we move to a three-dimensional curriculum and instruction model that allows us to compact the overloaded curriculum, and teach both factual and conceptual knowledge with greater depth and rigour? Session 2 How are knowledge and processstructured and how can we utilize that structure to develop the intellect? What is a conceptual lens and how can we use it to develop higher levels of thinking and increased motivation for learning? Day 2 - 27th February Session 3 What is the purpose of statements of conceptual understanding and how do we craft high quality generalizations? How do we scaffold thinking to deeper levels? How can we design instruction to achieve synergistic thinking between the factual and conceptual levels of knowledge and understanding? Session 4 How do we plan a unit that focuses on deep conceptual understanding? How do we develop different kinds of guiding questions to path student thinking from the factual to the conceptual level of understanding? After this workshop you will be able to: Understand the concept-based model for any subjects, Pre-k - 12 Write quality generalizations and guiding questions. Use a unit web to plan a concept-based unit. Design engaging, rich learning experiences for your students. Use formative assessment strategies to inform teaching and learning. Create unit plans that focus on deep conceptual understanding Potential Audience: K-12 teachers, principals and assistants, central office curriculum and instruction coordinators, university instructors in teacher training.
