“Teaching is only as good as the learning that takes place.”
Learning Results from: Effective Teaching Right Content Best Strategy Appropriate Timing
Rigor/Relevance Framework
Assimilation of knowledge Acquisition Thinking Continuum
1.Awareness 2.Comprehension 3.Application 4.Analysis 5.Synthesis 6.Evaluation Knowledge Taxonomy
EXAMPLE A: Managing Resources 1 Identify money resources 2 Explain values 3 Buy item within budget 4 Match expenses to budget 5 Set goals based on budget 6Evaluate spending habits of spouse/significant other
Acquisition of knowledge Application Action Continuum
Application Model 1. Knowledge in one discipline 2. Application within discipline 3. Application across disciplines 4. Application to real-world predictable situations 5. Application to real-world unpredictable situations
EXAMPLE B: Map Skills 1 Label symbols on a map 2 Use map in class to locate state capitals 3 Calculate mileage between cities 4 Plan a trip via the shortest route 5 Find a way home if you are lost
