Purposeful Unit and Lesson Design and Implementation
Designing units and lessons with purpose is at
the heart and soul of great teaching. Teachers must carefully pull apart
curriculum standards and break down conceptual understandings to meet the needs of
students. Then the teacher must think how they can purposefully design effective
and engaging learning experiences.
Looking at the big picture and where you are
headed with content is essential. Mapping out conceptual understanding so
students see how ideas fit together is key to the process. Sharing unit content
maps with students is the next step in having them visualize the way information
is linked.
Below are links to with great resources for
unit and lesson development.
