Active Learning: Utilizing Backwards Design To Articulate Learning Outcomes & Maximize Student Learning

Description  Challenge - Utilizing Backwards Design To Articulate Learning Outcomes  This webinar aims to address challenges related to designing Active Learning courses: While talking about course learning outcomes is commonplace in education, many teachers face significant challenges with articulating these outcomes in an authentic and actionable way Once outcomes are articulated, teachers often fail to “unpack” their course outcomes sufficiently in order to uncover the cognitive skills necessary to achieve these outcomes It is often a challenge to properly differentiate the “content” of the course with the “learning outcomes” for that course and to recognize the relationship between “content” and “outcomes” It can be a struggle to move from a course designed haphazardly around content and topics toward a more comprehensive, scaffolded design aimed specifically at student learning Key Takeaway In the Active Learning paradigm, the primary roles of the teacher are to caref
