Unit Introduction
Learning should be accessible, relevant, and tangible.
Curriculum to Constructivism is a practical framework that helps teachers move beyond simply covering standards to designing meaningful, real-world learning experiences. In five steps, participants will unpack standards, connect them to authentic contexts, design scaffolded tasks, sequence lessons with purposeful pacing, and assess through reflection. By the end of the course, participants will produce a ready-to-use project plan that empowers students to build knowledge, not just recall it.
This digital image represents the constructivist process of learning:
The open book and roots represent knowledge grounded in standards and the importance of optimizing background knowledge.
The tree symbolizes nature and real life, showing how learning grows into relevance and application.
The brain-shaped canopy with digital nodes illustrates the connections students build through technology and networks.
The crane and house signify knowledge under construction, emphasizing active learning.
Created in Canva. AI-generated tree logo created with ChatGPT (OpenAI, 2025). Prompt: “Create a colorful tree logo where the canopy forms a brain, the trunk grows from an open book, and construction elements (house, crane, lightbulb) symbolize building knowledge.”
