Real world learning design
Students have resources at their fingertips to make a positive impact in our classrooms, schools, communities, and world. As we prepare students to be college and career ready - how do we ensure real world skills (like creativity, collaboration, communication, and critical thinking and problem solving) are embedded into deep learning tasks and aligned to standards and course objectives? In this course, participants will examine student centered pedagogies, design applied real world learning experiences, and provide opportunities for students to present their work to an authentic audience.
This course will provide instructional leaders with the knowledge and skills to:
Connect students and core content to organizations, professionals, and community members and provide rigorous authentic learning and career-oriented experiences
Evaluate roles in education where teachers become activators and co-learners who model "learning to learn"
Explore and unpack 21st century skills and habits of mind to model and foster with today's learners
Assess the impact of real world design on student learning and motivation
