Modules might be focused on Questions (How do I ….?)
- Learning module layout:
- Pretest of some type (where am I now? Where are we now?)
- Contains some knowledge based questions (ex. True/False Oral language is an important aspect of teaching reading comprehension).
- Contains some perception type ratings (How confident do I feel doing ___________?) We can use these for research.
- Theory/the why?
- Research snapshot (summary of what research says in teacher friendly language). These can be created by graduate students.
- What teachers say? Consider short video of teacher explaining the “problem” or issue and what needs to be fixed/done?
- Video case study to anchor the module. Watching classroom instruction in action (good example of how to resolve/fix problem…but not perfect). Consider the language used in HLP videos at the beginning to remind viewers that it takes a brave teacher to showcase the messiness of teaching.
- Questions for a CoP or individual to reflect upon/work through to consider how this video would fit within their context, curriculum, school.
- Then a tiered set of tools to help with this work (i.e. graphic organizers, checklists, planning documents):
- Starting Small (teachers/schools needing to take changes slowly)
- Getting Going (teachers/schools ready to make pretty big shifts)
- Digging Deeper (teachers/schools already doing a lot but want to perfect/implement with higher fidelity)
- Posttest (where am I now? Where are we now?) Badge awarded upon completion with knowledge level above 80%.
- links to other resource pages
- sample “lesson plans”
- scenarios/cases
- teacher testimonials – video
