Description
Planning interesting lessons will benefit students of all types and ages in K-12. In this module, a 5-step process will teach you how to bridge the content standards and benchmarks into powerful lessons that stretch across a unit of study. You will learn how to take direct instruction and apply discovery learning. Working from a rubric will allow teaching content to be differentiated to meet the needs of those students who are challenged and/or on an IEP. What will students gain? They will learn how to work independently, organize their workload based on a rubric, and keep work neatly in a notebook that can be used for grading purposes. Your teaching role will change from “teacher” to “facilitator”, which will give you more time to help ALL students achieve to their highest potential. Get away from traditional teaching and make lessons fun!
