Essentials of Teaching and Learning: Backward Design and Learning Objectives (for Graduate Students)
02/12/2020 @ 10:10 am - 11:40 am
Learn about and engage with backward design: a scalable, end-in-mind approach to instruction that will help you effectively plan an activity, a class session, or an entire course. In this workshop for graduate students, we will discuss how to use previously-determined and described learning objectives as part of the backward design approach to drive assignments, feedback, and in-class activities for students. Prior to this session, participants are expected to have completed the 20-minute tutorial in the Learning Objectives Generator available on Canvas at https://bit.ly/ctl-log (takes 15-20 minutes).
By the end of this session, participants should be able to:
– Describe the Backward Design process and how to use this approach in their own teaching practice.
– Develop learning objectives for their students.
– Explain the connection between learning objectives, assessments, and assignments.
The Essentials of Teaching and Learning workshop series for graduate students is focused on giving you tools as a new or developing instructor to better facilitate student learning and improve your teaching practice. These workshops are best experienced sequentially.
Attending this workshop and posting reflections satisfies a Foundational Track requirement for participants in the Teaching Development Program (TDP). See bit.ly/ctl-tdp for details.
