In preparation for Assignment 2, This week we learnt about how to write up an unit plan. Building a unit plan is sometimes like being an architect. As educational designers, we develop a blue-print in a similar way that an architect might. The architect works with the client, building codes, research materials and labour costs, to create a design that fits within a blueprint. The design emerges through a process of trying out ideas, getting feedback and finally, matching the proposed ideas to the reality of the available space and client wishes.The steps below taken from Carmen's blog which I found very useful in carefully designing out a suitable unit plan.
Step 1 - Consider the context.
Information should include:• Students
• School
• Special Events
• Staff
Step 2 – Understand the alignment process: Curriculum, Assessment and Pedagogy
Head to the source for Curriculum documents, Structural models and Constructing/Transforming knowledge.Step 3 – Plan units by considering the following questions:
1. What curriculum will we use?
2. What evidence do students need to produce?
3. How will we foster learning that uses the curriculum to produce evidence?
