Design tables due Tuesday, June 15

by Aubree Evans 3 years, 6 months ago

[UPDATED TO ADD: IF THE TABLE FORMAT DOESN'T WORK, JUST USE LISTS]

Reply to this post and create a table for each unit in your OER that maps your existing resources to each unit objective. You need at least 3 units. It is up to you how many objectives each unit has.

Then list all of the existing content (either that you have created for your past classes or that you have found in other OER) that you have for each objective in each unit. After listing all content, make a note of where you need content. Keep in mind that you will need content, assignments, and assessments (see the BranchED template for more information).

Unit 1

Objective 1Objective 2
  • List all existing resources here (including content you created and other OER that you have curated)
  • Identify gaps in content (this is what you'll need to design)

Lourdes, I'm glad you were able to find so much content for your module! Your next step is to list out where your gaps in content are, and that will be where your design process will begin.

Lourdes Viloria 3 years, 5 months ago

Thanks Aubree-  the gaps that I see  are mostly in Unite because Teacher certification and the certification exams are a challenge for most of our students. The gap I hope to fill is using the BranchED transfomation model to support teacher candidates navigate this space successfully.  The thing is that we are just now beginning to launch the transformation model.

This looks like it's going to be a fantastic module, Devin! The content and activities look interesting and relevant. I can't wait to see your lecture videos. 

I can't remember if we dialogued about this already or not, but I looked into the copyright for Harvard's Implicit Bias test and, I think as long as you include the title of the site when you link to it, and then make sure it links externally (just not embedded in any way), it will be fine. But you probably knew that already. :)

Amber Bechard 3 years, 5 months ago

Reading Tug o’War Design Tables

Amber Bechard

  • This is an evolving document, I have many more materials and links to find
  • I analyzed my early literacy methods course and found gaps in missing content. We need to address content on the Reading Wars and on critical literacy. In this unit I will present these contentious issues in reading instruction. Teacher candidates will explore the issues, develop a position statement, and design a lesson that integrates aspects of all three reading instruction lenses.
  • I have scoured OER Commons for existing content and do find gaps. I will be more specific about this once I finish the discovery section of this part of the module.

 

Unit 1 Reading Tug o’War

Objective 1

Objective 2

Analyze the issues in the historical “Reading Wars” including balanced literacy and the Science of Reading, as well as analyze issues in critical literacy.

Develop a “one pager” that shows an analysis of the readings and indicates your position statement on the effective and equitable teaching of reading.

1 pager rubric-created by me

 

1 pager sample- created by me

 

 

GAPS: specific articles on each of the three reading instructional lenses, especially balanced literacy. I have begun adding to OER Commons, but will need to do more of this.

GAPS: This is the personal part of the module so I will be creating content here. I already have created a sample one pager using CC resources, and I have created the rubric for the one pager

 

 

 

Unit 2 Let the Standards Guide You

Consider the standards guiding the field of reading instruction, including CA ELA/ELD Common Core Standards and the TT Social Justice Standards.

Identify 2-3 standards to guide an integrated early literacy lesson

 

(provide links to a range of relevant standards)

 

California Common Core Standards ELA

 

IDA Knowledge & Practice Standards.pdf

 

TT-Social-Justice-Standards-Anti-bias-framework-2020.pdf

 

California English Language Development Standards K-12

 

 

GAPS: There are not links to all of the standards we need to consider, so I will need to add these links in my unit.

GAPS: I will create a template for candidates to note the standards they are selecting.

 

 

Unit 3 Design and Develop an Integrated Literacy Lesson

Design a unit that integrates a full range of literacy instruction approaches, including explicit structured literacy instruction, critical literacy, and experiential learning to disrupt the commonplace and engage students in multiple viewpoints.

Develop the materials to support your lesson

 

  • Sample lesson plans that are saved in my folder.

 

  • Lesson plan template

GAPS: There are several available lesson plans that highlight the types of instruction in this module. I have also added content to OER Commons here, and will likely add more.

GAPS: This is where each user of the module would put in their own lesson plan template. I will use the existing lesson plan template for my university. This will be a remix section for other users.

 

 

Aubree Evans 3 years, 5 months ago

This is off to a great start, Amber! I know you're focused on building content right now, but later when you're working on the balancing multimodality in your module, I think that warm demander chart could be easily turned into a great infographic! Let's put a pin in that--I'd be happy to help with that if you're interested when the time comes.

Amber Bechard 3 years, 5 months ago

agree! I would welcome the guidance in remixing the Warm Demander into an infographic. Next week'ssession?

Rickey Harrell 3 years, 5 months ago

Aubree,  here's a draft of my Design Table.  as I reviewed it, I felt that a good closing assignment should be something that ties the whole thing together, i.e. a lesson plan based on  research-based effective teaching strategies.

 

Using Student Assets to Provide Engaging and Equitable Instruction

Unit One

Explore the purpose of integrating cultural and linguistic practices, social and emotional learning, cognitive science, and trauma-informed care to teaching and learning.

Objective 1

Teachers understand the unique qualities of students with exceptional needs, including disabilities and giftedness, and know how to effectively address these needs through instructional strategies and resources.

Objective 2

Unit Two

 Learn Methods to gather student data that demonstrates knowledge of students and student learning assets

Objective 1

Teachers acquire, analyze, and use background information (familial, cultural, educational, linguistic, and developmental characteristics) to engage students in learning AND connect learning, content, and expectations to students' prior knowledge, life experiences, and interests in meaningful contexts.

  • Powerpoint (I create)
  • Resource remixed: Using ICT-based Diagnostic Assessment Tools
  • Activity: Resources remixed Discover your Learning Style
  • Resource remixed: *Data Collection and Interpretation Rubric

Objective 2

Teachers integrate the use of oral, written, graphic, kinesthetic, and/or tactile methods to teach key concepts.

 

  • Resource: Powerpoint Review of Lesson Plan Components (create)
  • Resource: remixed: effective Teaching
  • Model Resource remixed 6-Word Memoir
  • Model Resource remixed: The Hero’s Journey: Is there a Hero In Me?
  • Model Resources remixed: Hometown Map OER
  • Model Resource remixed” writing about your assets.
  • Assignment: Lesson Plan that addresses Student Assets

 

Aubree Evans 3 years, 5 months ago

This looks great, Rickey! You have a really nice balance of resources types. It also looks like you have a manageable balance of existing and new resources. And I like your closing assignment that ties it all together.

Aubree Evans 3 years, 5 months ago

Maria, I love that you used the XX to show gap, and you even listed the key words you use. I'm going to share this idea with others because this is so important in finding resources. 

It looks like you've found a good amount of resources and the amount you need to design looks manageble.

Also, I LOVE the mini-book assessment!!!

Maria Gross 3 years, 5 months ago

I appreciate your feedback, Aubree. I use the XX because it is easy to search for missing items :)

The mini-book was an assignment we completed in my EdD program...one of my favorites! All the information in one place (plus shows the Teacher Candidates a useful assignment for all grade levels).

Happy Wednesday, Maria

Tiffany, it looks like you were able to find some resources. I'm really glad. Second, I love the idea of your commentary about the readings. This is going to be great! I saw that you mentioned a video of you talking about SEL. I know that your focus for this module might be different, but we do have the recording of the SEL session you did for us this spring. I can send you the link if you want to edit any parts of that out to use here.

Also, a PoH template is AMAZING!!!

Aubree Evans 3 years, 5 months ago

Robin, I think this is going to be a great module. You have some really great ideas here. Just be sure that if you use an article or video in your module, that it's CC licensed. I noticed that the Perceptions article and the Inclusion video are not CC. You can actually put in a Youtube filter so that it only shows CC licensed videos. The same can be done with article searches in Google. I'm happy to show you this at a check-in meeting.

Robin Dodds 3 years, 5 months ago

Shoot! I thought I had filtered correctly. I will try to make a check in for some guidance.

Robin Dodds 3 years, 5 months ago

The article has this statement aat the end. Does this mean that I can use it or link to it in my module?

Design Table: Pedagogical Models in Practice

About:

In class each week, students are broken into mixed specialization groups (Multiple Subject, Single Subject, Special Education) where they learn about the specific pedagogical model (through articles, videos, chapters, professor lecture and other resources - and now these new modules). They are then asked to create short, (15 minute), lessons where they USE one of the models (each class generally has enough people that we can get 5 or six groups so it is easy to assign each topic/model for the evening), to teach content of their choice, using that model.  They then do the sample lesson for the class for feedback from the class and course instructor.  They are given a "sample" class to plan for, as well as case study students who they must differentiate for.  This is done specifically for the following reasons: The course focuses on CA TPEs (Teacher Performance Expectations) 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, and 1.8 - which emphasize that all students can learn) in order to practice incorporating UDL (Universal Design for Learning), as well as differentiation - based on specific k-12 student needs.  Certain weeks they have students with specific individualized needs.  Each week, our teacher candidates learn how to differentiate for different types of student differences and needs in their mini-lesson designs.  Likewise, the course also emphasizes twice exceptionality. (For instance, one week the course has a gifted learner as the case study student, it notes that the learner also has dyslexia and qualifies for other services and as such there is intersectionality there.  Likewise, the course itself (because we are a Christian University and incorporate Faith Integration into each of our classes) has a faith integration assignment each week... so the Faith assignment is connected specifically to Diversity and culturally responsive pedagogy is the specific pedagogical model emphasized from that perspective. The course covers diversity from a different lens each week as result... gender, ethnicity, LGBTQ+, Socio-Economic Status, Ability Levels, Achievement gaps, etc...) They receive points for this module as follows: 1 point for demonstrating/using the weekly Pedagogical model correctly. 1 point for providing UDL/differentiation for the sample class/case study students well. 1 point for clearly teaching/conveying the content they chose.    This process occurs each week with different pedagogical models until the end of the course and so by the end of the course the number of pedagogical models taught will have grown exponentially and the candidates tool boxes will have been filled fairly significantly.  This course emphasizes planning and specifically Teacher Performance Expectations 4 (Planning instruction) and Teacher Performance Expectation 1 (All Students Can Learn).

 

Unit 1 Title: Exploratory Pedagogical Models

Objectives:

  • Candidates will explore and use exploratory pedagogical models (Inquiry, discovery learning, 5E method, WebQuest, problem-based learning) methods and strategies in designing instruction. This will be measured through weekly pedagogical model presentations in class, and through weekly course unit design activities.

 

  • Candidates will use appropriate technology and internet sources to facilitate and enhance instruction as measured through the design and implementation of a flipped modality classroom lesson plan. Candidates will incorporate accessibility options within resources used in their flipped lesson in order to meet the needs of all students accessing the materials.

 

Resources:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Unit 2:  Questioning Pedagogical Models

Objective/s

  • Candidates will explore and use questioning pedagogical models - (QAR, Socratic seminar, fish bowl, and open-ended questioning) methods and strategies in designing instruction. This will be measured through weekly pedagogical model presentations in class, and through weekly course unit design activities.

 

Unit 3: Peer Interaction Pedagogical Models

Objective/s

  • Candidates will explore and use peer interaction models - (cooperative and collaborative learning, Kagan strategies, etc...) methods and strategies in designing instruction. This will be measured through weekly pedagogical model presentations in class, and through weekly course unit design activities.

 

Aubree Evans 3 years, 5 months ago

Jessica, I'm glad to see that you found so many resources in OER commons! It looks like your next step will be putting all of these together. If you have any questions about how to do this, I'm happy to discuss in a weekly check-in meeting.

Leah Carruth 3 years, 5 months ago

Aubree Evans 3 years, 5 months ago

Megan, you've got a LOT of work done on this already! This looks like it is really going to be a "plug-and-play" module that faculty can plug right into their classes. I really like the variety of content and application here.

I noticed that you have a video (I just checked one) that is not CC licensed. In that case you'll want to link to it rather than embed it.

Aubree Evans 3 years, 5 months ago

I can relate, Craig. I need to get my hands in something and start doing it before I'm comfortable with it, especially design and teaching related tasks. My advice is to start building your first unit. So you'll remix the BranchED template, delete the sample content, and start building in the content for your first unit. I think once you build out that first unit, you'll get in the groove for your Units 2 & 3.
