Two exciting GOA courses are coming up after the Winter Break:
From Educator Designed to Co-Designed: “One of the goals of competency-based learning is to support student agency: students have voice and choice in what, when, where, and how they learn.” In this course we will interview students and use the data to a redesign a unit or lesson we currently teach to incorporate greater student choice and voice. How cool! This course runs January 25-29, 2021.
From Time Based to Performance Based: “The shift from entails rethinking time so that students can advance based on mastery of a skill rather than seat time. How might you design opportunities for reassessment and differentiation? How might you create more opportunities for student practice and self-reflection?” Underlying this element is the essential promise of CBL to fight systemic inequities by meeting students where they are. This is the very definition of inclusion! This course runs February 22-26, 2021.
It’s a two minute commitment to register by clicking the links above and a 2-3 hour commitment to complete each course. Both courses will have an optional, structured, on-campus debrief… with treats. How sweet it is! Join your 16 colleagues already registered for one or both courses.
