Let’s Talk Curriculum - part one - Structure and Relevance
All right. You are wondering - What do I do? Here are some steps and caveats:
- Create Your Overall Goal.
- What do you want the students to learn
- What do you want the students to understand
- What do you want to the students to walk away with
- How will the students demonstrate their learning, understanding, and appreciation?
- Create a Mind Map (also known as a “web”) with your goal in the center and concepts being the spikes…if there are too many ideas, then choose the most important ones for the next week/month. Work with that - do NOT overcomplicate this.
- Choose the first concept/ idea that needs to be taught, and figure out at least 3 ways to introduce/review this with the class, so it’s relevant, challenging, engaging, and fun. If students can work in groups, then allow it. If you are a desert of ideas, ask others and look online, then create one from what’s there - don’t just copy - that rarely works.
- Work on building the foundations with your class - every class will be different with students coming in holding different skills and talents - figure out what they can do and begin to use that.
- Continue building your own skill sets in this manner - even asking students for input so you can create your own solid foundation that can be molded and melded in the future.
- Look at Kagan’s Cooperative Learning, as well as Universal Design for Learning books (there are so many now!).
Good Luck!
