Thinking is central to deepening student learning. Presenters share a process for designing curriculum that escalates active learning and cognitive complexity by flipping required curriculum to inquiry and investigations that tap into what students deem culturally relevant and meaningful. Specifically addressed are design strategies for addressing universal concepts, complex thinking in various disciplinary fields, and assessments that document student learning.
Learning Objectives:
Acquire a process for focusing required units on essential understandings and conceptional frameworks that open units to inquiry and investigation.
Acquire a set of strategies to structure students’ discussions and explorations to allow them to reach higher levels of engagement and understanding with respect to individual learning needs.
Examine an array of formative assessment strategies that document student understanding.
