Syllabus

It is intended that by engaging in creating a Project Plan approach (a design for inquiry) that you will develop an enactive teaching practice that attends firstly to the interests and needs of particular children and also to public expectations with a grounding in current pedagogy and your personal philosophy of teaching. Content is seen as transient and dependent on your students' needs and interest

Overview

Instructors

Begin your Project Plan with a description of the children that you will be teaching!

Think Big Picture! What is the big project that your students will be enthusiastic about investigating? It doesn't have to come from Social Studies Government documents - that comes later. You will discover that elements of other subject areas will naturally emerge in a meaningfully integrated way.

The Project Plan will include
- a class description
- a rationale
- a sequence of learning activities
- a resource critique.

Learning Activities:

• Objective. (Intention, competency, SWBAT, purpose...)
• Assessment (evidence of learning - not just assessment methods or tools)
• Strategies
• Activities
• Describe how the learning experience is enactive and naturally integrated

Resource Critique:

• A brief, one sentence description
• Availability (ie. where you can get it)
• Cautions and strengths
